Reply To: Daas Torah in gemora

sqrt, Gedol, thanks for the reference to Chulin: it is even a double one – daas – daas Torah! It looks like it means here that R Yehuda uses logical explanation, that is DT is application of sevorah.

Of course, my Teacher referred (tongue-in-cheek) to Encyclopedia Talmudit – this discussion was before Gemora was online, and he referred to earlier times when the Volume with Dalet just came out, 1980s? so, pre-Netscape and even pre-gopher times …

So, if my source was not aware of this Chulin reference (that probably proves his point) is comparable to R Yohanan apparently forgetting a baraita from R Eliezer that Ezra cleaned up Bavli’s yichus (mods, gemora says that, not AAQ, please …) and, thus, presumably, R Zeiri is correct rejecting DT-based shidduch …
