Menachot 86, 87, and 88 - Revisiting the Wicked Child

Take One Daf Yomi

On today’s special Passover episode, we pause our study of Menachot 86, 87, and 88 for an end-of-festival special featuring producer Josh Kross. Since we have spent so many days discussing the "unleavened bread offerings" of these pages, we pivot to an exploration of the "Wicked Child" in the Haggadah. We re-examine the famous question—"What is this ritual to you?"—not as a sneer of exclusion, but as a profound challenge of identity. Through the insights of Rabbi Sari Laufer, we explore how every child at the Seder is already part of the story, proving that even the most difficult questions are a vital spark for spiritual renewal. How can the "wicked" child actually be the deepest seeker at the table? Listen and find out.
