Episode description

The need for fire in roasting, and the Gemara's reread of the mishnah with an emended text (chisurei mechsera) that turns the mishnah's discussion of a grill on its head, and Rabban Gamliel's instruction to his servant Tavi no longer contradicting the primary position of the mishnah. The Gemara also beings an example of fire that is fueled by that which is prohibited (in this case, orlah) - can the heat from that fire be used to bake bread? It is an attempt to determine whether the Korban Pesach can be roasted via residual heat from fire (spoiler: not so much). Also, the case of the betrothed daughter of a kohen who commits adultery, whose death sentence may have implications for the fire of the Korban Pesach. Plus, the new mishnah: on the fire-roasted Korban Pesach. [What's What: Ma'aser Sheni]
