R. Perida: If a man is of Torah, he is worthy. If he is a man of Torah an lineage/pedigree, he is worthy. But if he is a man of lineage and not Torah, a fire should devour him

To the left of me it's Purim, to the right of me it's Purim, but where I am it isn't Purim!

R. Natan: There is no minor mitzvah in the Torah for which no reward is given in this world, and in the world to come I do not know how much (reward is given)
#DafYomi 44a
The hilazon's body is similar to the sea, its form looks like a fish, it emerges once in 70 years, and w/its blood one dyes the tekhelet. Therefore it is expensive
#DafYomi 44a
R. Aha b. Yaakov heard son blessing "Who did not make me a boor"

RABY: Slave is lowlier

Baraita: Jewish people are beloved as God has surrounded them with mitzvot: tefillin on head and arm, fringes on garment, and mezuzah on door. Re these commandments, David said Ps. 119:164
#DafYomi 43b
Note: Once in R. Tendler's shiur, someone mentioned his Hareidi brother-in-law insisted on wearing tzitzit at night. R. Tender replied that if he really held that way, then he should also have insisted his wife wear tzitzit.
#DafYomi 43a
Baraita: Everyone is obligated in tzitzit including Priests, Levites, Israelites, converts, women and slaves. R. Shimon: Women are exempt because it's a positive time-bound commandment and women are exempt from all positive time-bound commandments
#DafYomi 43a
Can't sell tzitzit to gentiles until one removes the fringes first
#DafYomi 43a

#DafYomi 41b
Gemara: Mitzvah of tzitzit is still on the garment not the individual, angel's critique was regarding loopholes to avoid wearing tzitzit (i.e. not wearing a 4 cornered garment)
Note: Ironically, one can only fulfill tzitzit via a loophole.
#DafYomi 41a
Angel to R. Ketina: Ketina, Ketina! If you wear a linen cloak in the summer and a coat in the winter, what will become of tzitzit with tekheilet?
R. Ketina: Do you punish for (not fulfilling) a positive commandment?
Angel: When there's divine anger
#DafYomi 41a
Reish Lakish: Wherever you find a positive and a negative commandment, best if you can fulfill both, but if you can only fulfill one, the positive commandment overrides the prohibition.
#DafYomi 40a
Via Ptil Tekheilet, multiple ways of tying tekheilet, all of which meet the criteria in today's #DafYomi 39a-b
