Take One: Sukkah 41

Take One Daf Yomi

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 41, dives deep into the reasons why we remain so obsessed with the memory of the Beit Hamikdash, the ancient Temple. Novelist Dara Horn joins us to explain this eternal preoccupation of ours, how it's different from, say, a Civil War reenactment, and how the rabbis of the Talmud created an ingenious system of virtual reality to transform and preserve our religious traditions. Why did Judaism have to fake its own death to survive? Listen and find out.
