Take One Daf Yomi

On today’s page, Menachot 3, the Talmud opens its discussion of meal offerings by examining when a handful of flour taken from an offering is valid or invalid depending on whether it was taken “for its own sake.” Rather than launching into new themes, the tractate underscores a core idea we’ve seen before: even the best offering fails without the right intention behind it. What does it teach us about the place of mindful purpose in ritual — and in life? Listen and find out.
