Take One: Yevamot 72

Today’s page of Talmud, Yevamot 72, introduces a moving image of a cool breeze blowing every night at midnight to give the Israelites erring in the wilderness some comfort. Poet Maya Pindyck joins us to meditate on this passage and read out one of her recent and relevant poems. Is there such thing as a magical moment in time? Listen and find out. Like the show?
