- Shalom friends! On Fridays, my chevruta Geo Poor & I do #dafyomi together. Watch this real-time #DafReactions video, as we learn and react to #BavaBatra 3 & 4. We were NOT READY. Find out why! If you dare! CONTENT WARNINGS! ALL OF THEM! ☠️🍯😱🤮
This was amazing. If it was shown in theaters your expression when you found out how Herod died would alone be worth the price of admission.
I saw Geo’s expression of horror and knew i was about to learn something I would regret! 😂
I love the format....more please..
So interesting seeing your interactions together...
A note, though. It should be set as a landscape, not portrait video.
Yes, and in future I'll make both!
I'm so glad you liked it! I thought it captured the chevruta learning we do quite well. And it was just a hilarious one to do together!
@@MiriamAnzovin I should clarify. I'm fine with either, but if it's landscape as this one is, it shouldn't be padded for portrait format.
Yes, I hear you - this was a 12 hour long marathon edit and I didn't have the energy to make two versions (and doing a mega-closeup to make it portrait mode felt a little intense) but going forward I'll do my best to provide a landscape version with reformatted captions for UA-cam.
They've found honey in #Tut's-tomb still unspoiled! But, to embalm with that? That's above my pay grade, Ms. Miriam! 😊 1:48
Love it
Shalom, Geo! Welcome to Daf Reactions!
I love this video format-it's a fantastic view into another aspect of studying the Talmud.
And now, my stream-of-consciousness reaction to the study!
- Preserving a girl's body in honey for seven years is some grade-A incel shit, which explains way more about Herod than I ever wanted to know.
- "We don't wanna 'bee' on this planet anymore!" Oh, Miriam. 😂
- You're worried... who will sue you? Herod?
- "To be fair-" "We don't have to, but okay." This is the most Miriam reaction. 😂
- I feel bad for Bava ben Buta. First he gets a lamp smashed over his head, then this whole interaction with Herod...
- Man, Bava ben Buta's got some Nachum Ish Gamzu-level forgiveness going on. Don't curse kings, rich men, leaders, women who smash lamps over your head, or even Herod?
- Counterpoint: if I were following some shmuck around the desert for 40 years and he told me "God said not to curse your leaders", it WOULD come off as him covering his own ass.
- Everyone knows the 614th mitzvah is to blend! 😂
- I don't know the story of Herod deciding to rebuild the Temple, but is the explanation supposed to be that Bava ben Buta guilt-tripped him into doing it? That has to be the most stereotypically Jewish tactic ever.
- You know it's bad when Eleazar ben Shimon comes off as being the reaaonable one. YIKES.
- I was going to object to the idea of Herod being Trump on the grounds that Trump would never build something on even the appearance of making amends, but considering there are still people who call it "Herod's Temple" thousands of years later... yeah, putting your name on a garish-ass building because it'll establish your brand name for millennia is exactly Trump's thing.
- This might be the only time I've ever seen Miriam speechless. 🤣 Herod's actual death is SO MUCH BETTER than the bees being responsible!
- That said, what the hell is it with the Talmud and phallic trauma? You've got guys being stung by wasps, the thing with the multiple holes and the ant or sharpened barleycorn or whatever it was (I mostly blocked that story out, blech 🤢), breaking it in a fall (YEVAMOT 54/BAVA KAMMA 27 STRIKES AGAIN!), and now maggots? Are we SURE this isn't the "angry second-wave feminist retelling" edition? Not that it wasn't well-deserved in Herod's case, but... I think I need to lie down.
Anyway, thank you to both of you for giving us this little window into Daf Yomi. 🥰 I'd love to see more sometime!
This comment is so high quality. Congratulations. I could never piece so many things together like that.
@@danielheckel2755 Thanks, Daniel! Kind of you to say so!
Thank you, Brooke! This was an INSANE Daf! Absolutely bananas! I'm glad you liked this type of video, learning this daf was so fun and I thought it would be cool to show some of the in-the-moment daf reactions, without any scripting or even knowing exactly what we were gonna learn! And LOL when I made that 614 mitzvot joke I thought... "I think Brooke might call me on this one" and you rightly did 😂 This one should be the 615th!
I agree that perhaps...had I been in the desert...I too would have been someone starting a mutiny against Moses because it IS a bit sketchy and then I would have ended up in a pit like Korach!
For the phallic trauma question, in the Talmud's defense, the information about the maggot dick (vomit) actually was from some news articles Geo googled while we were talking, so this ONE TIME the Talmud wasn't the one to give us the horrific deets!
Bava Ben Buta deserved better! And so did that girl! Wow. What a way to begin a tractate. Other tractates? TAKE NOTES
@@MiriamAnzovinThis whole thing confirms to me that the Gemara, or at least one of the authors of the Gemara, had a fantastic grasp of storytelling. Getting the audience hooked is the single most important part of a story, and "so he murdered them all and preserved one girl's body in amber" is a hell of a lede!
@@MiriamAnzovin As for me, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's preserving jokes. No honey required!
😂 Google this later … 😂 good pivot 🤭. … brilliant as always!
I love a good tangent but I didn't want to put him through that right then, in his workplace lol
@@MiriamAnzovin generous choice 😉
I also want to give my thanks and condolences to Geo for being the literal picture of "I immediately regret this decision" when he Googled how Herod died. 🤣 I wonder if he reacted the same way to the Richard Gere gerbil thing? (Which I am NOT thankful for, because dammit Miriam, I'd forgotten about that and was fine with it!)
I am so sorry, I had forgotten the gerbil myself thing until THAT VERY MOMENT! When I script a video, I have time to consider questions like: “Will this traumatize the audience too much? or just enough?” but this was just horrified stream of consciousness 😂😱
@@MiriamAnzovin I love the premise that there's a right amount to traumatise your audience. We know what we're in for. 😂
Logistically, it be a little "sticky" with all of that honey drip'n, wouldn't it be? ... "Watch your honey drip, can't keep away!" ~ Robert Plant, Led Zeppelin 🐝 3:46
Marianme played the long game. Nice!
I hope Herod's time in Gehennom only made the maggots worse.
A page of extreme contrast. On one side we have despisable-in-Trump- level politicians ("they let you preserve her in honey when you're famous!") and on the other hand we have, the Zen of Judaism forgiving him. Can amtisemites hurt you if they can't reach where it hurts?
HA! The first hour of footage was just us learning about building regulations and then BAM they are like yo you guys want a crazy unhinged story of horror and repentance but mostly horror? HERE YOU GO! ENJOY! 😂
@@danielheckel2755 "They let you preserve her in honey when you're famous" is such a horrifically accurate parallel.
@@brookechang4942 Indeed. Even as a male, that phrase and the thought of it brought me horror.
@@MiriamAnzovin You never know what the Talmud will bring out of left field! But it WILL be awkward!
I only wish I had thought to say it at the time lol
1:43 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh…. My….. goodness…😮
YEP
Here for the serial killers conference in the comments!!
😂😂😂 nobody can mess with this comments section! They better not! 😂
Not a serial killer- just a nerd. Regarding honey preservation, you might want to look up mellified man. But only if you can handle reading about death practices that include beginning the mummification process while still alive.
Thank you for clarifying you are not a serial killer - I'm over here looking though comments like "damn, more serial killers follow me than I thought!" lol. I don't mind learning about the mummification process! I just don't want to learn about maggot dick, which...I think is fair 😂
@@MiriamAnzovin I mean…. A lot of us are probably cereal killers though. 🥣
I have to admit, the first thing I thought when I heard "preserved in honey" was, "isn't that how candied fruit is made?"
While I am trained in the blade, I prefer just to eat a bowl of Kix! Or Honey Nut Cheerios! 😂
I also admit this. But I didn't know if they would use the same thing to fully preserve a human being, and did they ever need to swap out the honey for new honey? I feel like the show "Hannibal" may have er, covered this at some point or at least it should have if it didn't!
What a waste of honey. Oh my goodness, and you brought up Richard Gere and the gerbil? Please don't put Trump in our Talmud. Life is hard enough! :) - I loved this. Thanks Miriam!
Thank you! I'm sorry for bringing up both! Sorry!! lol
Is Geo married?
I'm a Bear
I dunno, you type real well for a bear. I'm not falling for this!
