Take One: Beitzah 36

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Beitzah 36, instructs us that a student must never question the teacher. Mark Oppenheimer, having taught everyone from small children to Yale students, joins us to talk about why students used to be too deferential, and why too many have now moved too far in the opposite direction. Just what measure of respect do we owe our teachers? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com. Follow us on Twitter at @takeonedafyomi and join the conversation in the Take One Facebook group.
