Take One: Shekalim 16

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Shekalim 16, kicks things off by reminding us of the strong bond between great power and great responsibility. Aliza Landes, host of the new podcast Us Among the Israelis, joins us to talk about why Israelis just went to the polls to vote for the fourth time in two years, and what that has to do with the Talmud's exhortations about accountability. Why do Israelis distrust political dynasties? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
