Gittin 65 – On Being Impolite

Take One Daf Yomi

In today’s Talmud page, Gittin 65, the rabbis discuss the need for a request of a divorce decree to be slightly impolite in order for it to be valid. Tablet Editor in Chief Alana Newhouse expresses her surprise that the rabbis seem to be showing a lack of sensitivity in this discussion. The process of ending a marriage is fraught with complicated and difficult feelings that impact more than just the married couple, and we must fight the impulse of self-interest to focus on all of the people affected. Is sensitivity the enemy of clarity? Listen and find out.
