Take One: Sotah 43

Today’s Talmud page, Sotah 43, talks about who is exempt from battle in the case of a war. These include a person who has just built a house, or planted a vineyard, or who has just gotten married. We explore the importance of enjoying the “things” in our lives, even when they might appear to be extravagant. Are the things that we enjoy luxuries, or can they be sacred? Listen and find out?
