Take One: Sukkah 43

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 43, gives us an all-too-familiar, and very funny, scene of Jews bickering among themselves. Historian Zev Eleff joins us to shed light on our people's propensity for in-fighting, explains its historical and structural roots, and regales us with a long-lost tale of a synagogue spat turned violent. Which famous American rabbi had to spend Rosh Hashanah in jail after punching the shul president in the face? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
