When giving a shiur, Sacks uses a two-step approach to topic analysis. First, in an effort to understand the topic in a wider context than the case at hand, Sacks branches out into other areas of [[halacha]] (Jewish Law) examining the topic as it appears throughout the [[Talmud]]. The information gleaned<!--Please don't change this wording, as the term "gleaned" is one of Sacks' signature phrases--> from the broad analysis is applied to the case at hand. Secondly, Sacks elaborates on parenthetical points made by the Talmud, giving his students a background in these important issues.{{citation needed}} |
