Starting Sunday evening, Nov. 22, 2026, we will begin the study of the tractate of Arakhin, which is the fifth tractate in Seder Kodshim (“Order of Sacrifices”).
Arakhin (“Valuations”) discusses the process of vowing to donate a person’s prescribed value to provide for Temple maintenance, discussing details such as limitations on who can take a vow of donation and methods of collecting these donations. The tractate also discusses donations of land to the Temple and the sale of ancestral fields, houses of walled cities, and houses of unwalled courtyards (adapted from Sefaria.org).
The class meets on Zoom, no preparation or prior Talmud experience is required, and it is presented in English. We use a shared sefaria.org page to allow everyone to follow along.
