Synthesis

Siyum Mesechet Pesachim

In this siyum on Mesechet Pesachim, dedicated to the memory of Eliran Yeger, HYD, I explore the halakhic and symbolic dimensions of the Hillel sandwich, analyzing its composition, timing, and purpose both in Temple times and today. By tracing the positions of Hillel, the Rabbis, and later commentators, it reveals the sandwich as a layered ritual memory—a zecher l’mikdash—that integrates themes of redemption, obligation, and spiritual purpose at the heart of the Pesach Seder.
