Menachot 91 and 92 - When Do We Grow Up?
On today's pages, Menachot 91 and 92, a discussion about sacrificial animals introduces the pelgas — a being no longer young but not yet fully grown — and the rabbis argue fiercely about where exactly that line falls. A recent study from the University of Cambridge found that human brain development continues well into our thirties, which means the society that hands us a driver's license at 16 and calls us adults at 21 may have gotten the whole thing badly wrong. Are most of us walking around as pelgases without knowing it? Listen and find out.
