Seria muy beneficioso que estos buenos temas estuvieran disponibles a gran cantidad de hispanos en el mundo. Muchas gracias por su esfuerzo y tiempo dedicados al estudio de la torah.

April 21, 2025 at 11:37 pmHi,
Tosefta Pesachim 4.7 implies the Passover can be slaughtered and eaten on the 14th. It can’t be roasted though. Is this the correct interpretation here? Thanks.
One who slaughters the Passover offering to eat it on the fourteenth [of Nissan], it is valid to eat it. [If he prepared it] half-cooked, boiled, or cooked, it is valid. One who slaughters the Passover offering on behalf of the members of a company, and he said that he did not slaughter it in its name (i.e., he slaughtered it with a different purpose in mind), he is not believed. Rabbi Yehuda says, [if he said it] before he began [the slaughter] he is believed, [but if he said it] after he began [the slaughter] he is not believed.
