Take One: Yoma 7 and 8

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yoma 7 and 8, deliver a neat meditation on the ways the garments of the priests helped them feel a little bit closer to God. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to tell us about how the tefillin Jewish men are commanded to wear every morning is simply a continuation of the same idea, and how every day contains a few small opportunities to transcend from the mundane to the divine. How can our daily actions help us overcome our sins and be a bit more like the High Priest on the holiest day of the year? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
