Take One: Nedarim 22

Today’s Talmud page, Nedarim 22, warns us against the destructive force of sheer anger. Poet and Buddhist monk Norman Fischer joins us to talk about why anger is a mighty and strangely embodied sensation, and what we can do to recognize it and stop it from taking over. How are the teachings of the rabbis about anger a lot like those of Buddhist teachers? 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 and Quinn Waller. Our team also includes Stephanie Butnick, Josh Kross, Mark Oppenheimer, Sara Fredman Aeder, Robert Scaramuccia, and Tanya Singer.  Check out all of Tablet’s podcasts at tabletmag.com/podcasts.
