Take One: Taanit 11

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Taanit 11, instructs us that the righteous always choose to suffer together with their fellow Jews, even when they can extricate themselves and escape into comfort. Justin Hayet, host of a new podcast searching for modern-day tzadikim, or righteous people, joins us to talk about community, compassion, and making the world a kinder place. Are there really 36 hidden tzadikim who keep the world from imploding? Listen and find out.  Find more about Thirty-Six here. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
