Take One: Nazir 11 and 12

Today’s Talmud pages, Nazir 11 and 12, are all about the sauce. Novelist Ruby Namdar joins us to talk about the Talmud's approach to drunkenness, and why so much of our trouble--and our inspiration--comes when we've had a few. What was the real fruit Adam and Eve tasted in Eden? Listen and find out. Take One is a Tablet Studios production. The show is hosted by Liel Leibovitz, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Quinn Waller and Elie Bleier. Our team also includes Stephanie Butnick, Josh Kross, Mark Oppenheimer, Robert Scaramuccia, and Tanya Singer.  Check out all of Tablet’s podcasts at tabletmag.com/podcasts.
