Shekalim 18: Eleven Menorahs of Gold

Talking Talmud - Een podcast door Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

The 10 menorahs of King Solomon - what was he thinking? Where were they placed in the Temple? Were they lit? Note the contrast in Shlomo's gold that needed refining and Moshe's menorah, the gold for which never needed refining, according to the daf. Also, the need for clarification retroactively - were specific coins designated in the Temple? The halakhic concept of identifying the unspecified after the fact is a key halakhic concept throughout Shas. Plus, Who's Who: Yehoyada.
