Kiddushin 39 – Being Grateful
from Take One Daf Yomi · host Tablet Magazine
In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 39, the Rabbis begin with a conversation about the purchasing and gathering of produce. 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 focusing on gratitude. The Rabbis teach that there are three steps in being grateful, being thankful for the gifts that you are given, working hard to cultivate the gifts you have been given, and finally reflecting on the balance between the gifts you have received and the work you have done to cultivate those gifts. How does being intentional in your appreciation of things create a deeper sense of gratitude? 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. Once you’ve preordered the book, take a picture of your receipt and visit https://tabletm.ag/preorder and complete the form and upload a copy of your receipt. Once we have your email address, you will be invited to a virtual event, and be eligible to receive one of ten special packages, hand-curated by Liel, that will make your Jewish journey more meaningful, beautiful, and yeah, why not, fun.
