To mark my father's yahrtzeit on 29 Shevat I delivered a new slideshow titled Running a Regel: The Logistics of Hosting Klal Yisrael for Yom Tov. See the full video below!
This new presentation explores various aspects of how to prepare, fund, and manage a pilgrimage festival in Jerusalem of old. Assorted Talmudic teachings from Pesachim to Parah offer snapshots of daily life during the Second Temple era, and together they form a rich tapestry that captures what it took to accommodate the myriad visitors — Jews and non-Jews alike — who flocked to the holy city three times each year. Come roll up your sleeves and lend a hand to prepare the Beis Hamikdash for yom tov!
Bonus feature: This year's flyer.
