Take One: Nazir 6 and 7

Today’s Talmud pages, Nazir 6 and 7, stress the importance of keeping your streak going. A.J. Jacobs joins us to break down our obsession with doing the same thing over and over without interruption, and why it gives us such a sense of purpose. What happens when you mess up your crossword puzzle streak, or neglect to play the daily Wordle? 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.
