Gittin 70 – In Praise of Moderation

Today’s Talmud page, Gittin 70, shares a list of eight items that the body and soul should enjoy in moderation. Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern gives advice on ways to enjoy life, while also living in moderation. As an example of this, he shares the story of when George Will entered the Beit Midrash, the Study Hall of Yeshiva University, and wondered how anyone could learn in the cacophony of noise the came from the students as they studied together.
