We will take a look at the beginning of Chapter 318 of The Code of Jewish Law. We will discover that it is an extremely important chapter, which is about much more than the laws of cooking. The session is likely to be text based. No prior knowledge is assumed.

Why do we call watches "time pieces"? Is it an expression of a hidden wish to own a piece of time? Time was always revered and dreaded, and it is therefore not surprising that when time and Jewish Law crossed paths a halakhic volcano erupted, constantly providing new opinions about and means for measuring halakhic times. In this session we will try to understand what are the boundaries of night, day, and the twilight zone.
