Gittin 72 – Haitian Divorce

Take One Daf Yomi

Today’s Talmud page, Gittin 72, explains that a request for a divorce decree to be written must be made verbally, and not just in writing. Alex Pappademas, author of Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan joins us to discuss the importance of words in expressing our deepest emotions, and the ways that the lyrics of Steely Dan, as written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen did this in their songs. What can we learn from the song ‘Rikki Don't Lose That Number”? Listen and find out.
