Daf Yomi: Seforim on Moed Katan, Part one
Daf Yomi: Seforim on Moed Katan, Part one
By Eliezer Brodt
Daf Yomi just started learning Masseches Moed Katan. Earlier today I had a conversation with Rabbi Moshe Schwed of All Daf. The purpose of the conversation was for me to briefly highlight some of the Rishonim and Achronim “out there” on this masechtah, adding some tidbits of interest about them.
A nice amount of the conversation was devoted to discussing if Rashi on Moed Katan was written by Rashi and some time was spent talking about Mechon Harry Fishel. I also included a short bibliography of works related to Shemitah.
We recorded it and it’s available for viewing here and here. An audio version is available here.
It’s forty- five minutes, which is much longer than previous ones. I apologize for the length in advance, luckily both links have options for one to listen on fast speed! Many aspects could have been discussed at even greater length but R. Schwed had mercy on potential listeners! IYH Next week we will record part two which will deal with the issue of Learning the Mesechtah and Hilchos Aveilus as many avoided learning it as it relates to death.
This is an experiment which we are trying on the Seforim Blog and we hope to have other presentations from others over time. Feedback or comments of any sort are appreciated.
This is the sixth such conversation I have had with him of this kind this year (earlier we discussed Yerushalmi Shekalim [here], Yoma [here], Rosh Hashanah [here] Taanis [here] and Megillah [here]).

Hi. You wrote:

Why do I see no mention whatsoever of Rabbi Moshe Schwed at alldaf.org?
(Is it staring at me in plain sight, and I am somehow just not seeing it?)
It is posted under their “Blog” section
Where can I find:
1. The Kupfer article detailing the argument for his version of Rashi.
2. The Kupfer edition of Moed Katan on Hebrewbooks.
3. The Yaakov Fuchs article.
Here’s Kupfer’s ed. of “Rashi” on MK:

Worth also mentioning Keller’s edition:

The Yaakov Fuchs article is available on Otzar Hachochma

Listened to it this morning and enjoyed it very much. Is the book Minske Gadol available for purchase?
Looking forward to the next one on aveilus. Will you get into different sefarim that specifcally address Hilchos Aveilus?
R. Eliezer – thank you, I very much enjoy these, please keep them coming!
I can’t recall – did you mention the commentary of R. Shelomo ben ha-Yatom?
Thanks
Just a minor side point. What was your basis for the fact that
the mhari”m padva was a “chashuva talmid of r’ chaim voloziner” or a talmid of volozin at all
מענין לענין Is anyone aware of the any articles or information available concerning רש”י on מסכת מנחות. Why towards the end of the מסכת there are 2 versions of רש”י and seemingly the one which was around the last few hundred years is not the true רש”י. Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
