Gittin 49 – In Search of A Cup of Coffee

In today’s Talmud page, Gittin 49, we learn that when a creditor is to collect land from a debtor, they are only to take the intermediate-quality land, and not their best land, as it is because of this middling land that they needed to take the loan in the first place. Reflecting on the importance of mediocrity, we share an essay that reflects on the thin line between great and good. What do we learn as we fail and fail again in better and more interesting ways?
