In this all new Rabbi Siddur series, The Science Behind the Mishnah, you are invited on a fascinating exploration of Maseches Berachos, where Torah wisdom meets scientific discovery.

Light, Air, Atmosphere and Krias Shema

Join Rabbi Siddur for a trip to the moon and back, exploring the science behind the halachic question of when you can say Krias Shema in the morning.  

When does the day start? Is it at sunrise or at dawn? How is dawn defined? And how did Hashem set up the world so that daylight would come every 24 hours?

This video has been generously sponsored by Rabbis Joel Padowitz and Jonathan Sassen who bring the Mishnayos to life by revealing the natural phenomena described within, offering a fresh perspective that connects timeless teachings with the intricacies of the physical world.
