Take One: Yevamot 6 and 7

Take One Daf Yomi

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yevamot 6 and 7, introduce us to the concept of Hechsher Mitzvah, a situation in which a righteous deed can only be fulfilled by violating a prohibition. Lenny Dykstra, a member of the Mets team that won the 1986 World Series, joins us to talk about why it's always better to ask for forgiveness than for permission, reflect on his achievements and his mistakes, and ponder the state of contemporary baseball. Why must you always play like losing isn't an option? Listen and find out.
