Pesachim 108 - March 9, 25 Adar

Study Guide Pesachim 108 Today’s daf is sponsored by Mark and Shoshana Baker in memory of the 48th Yartzeit of Mark’s late father, Anthony David Waltzer. And by Abby Flamholz in honor of her daughter-in-law Sigal on her Hebrew birthday. "A huge thank you for dragging me along on your daf yomi journey."  Rabbi Sheshet would fast on the eve of Passover all day. Why? At what point of the seder does one need to recline? How does one recline? Who is required to recline? Women in the presence of their husbands do not need to recline but if they are important women, then they do? What does it mean "important women"? A son reclines at his father's table. What about a student at his rabbi's table? The servant serving the meal? Women are obligated in four cups (and other seder law) as women were also part of the miracle. What are the different interpretations for "part of the miracle?" The gemara brings in the name of Shmuel different laws relating to the wine for the four cups.  Other rabbis come and restrict his words. Do you need red wine? Where do we learn this from?
