Kiddushin 38 – Half Way There
from Take One Daf Yomi · host Tablet Magazine
In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 38, the Rabbis begin with a conversation about when it was allowed to eat the first produce of the land of Israel. But rather than focus specifically on this page, today, and all this week we will be celebrating a few milestones. We will be celebrating the new Jewish year, 5784, our reaching the middle page of the Talmud, that’s right we have hit the mid-point of this journey, and finally the upcoming publication of Liel’s book How the Talmud Can Change Your Life: Surprisingly Modern Advice from a Very Old Book. Today we are joined by Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin to celebrate the accomplishment of making it to the mid-point of the daf yomi cycle, to reflect on the experience thus far, and to look forward at what the second half has in store for us. What has it been like to study the daily Talmud page during this process? Listen and find out. In celebration of all of these milestones, we invite you to pre-order the new book now. You can do it through your local bookstore, directly from the publisher, or wherever you get your favorite books.
