Take One: Shekalim 5 and 6

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Shekalim 5 and 6, bring up an interesting mystical connection between the funds we're all expected to pay for our communal welfare and the sin of the golden calf. Rabbi Mark Dratch, the executive vice president of the Rabbinical Council of America, joins us to talk about that ancient transgression and what it still has to teach us today. What profound wisdom about money might we learn from today's page of Talmud? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
