Take One: Sukkah 36

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 36, finds the rabbis in a judgy mood: rats, they tell us, are downright repulsive. Dr. Rivka Schwartz joins us to share her experience of life with adorable pet rats, and help us figure out if humans and rodents can find true companionship. Were the rabbis just too harsh on our little mousy friends? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
