Kiddushin 5 and 6 – Docs, Sex, and Money

In today’s Talmud pages, Kiddushin 5 and 6, there is a discussion about whether the benefit of money, intercourse, and documents provide pleasure. To delve into this strange triad of items that may provide pleasure, we are joined by Tablet Magazine Editor in Chief, Alana Newhouse, who explores the ways that documents, money and intercourse can provide pleasure, but how that benefit may just be a means to an end? How do two magazine editors feel about the pleasures of a good piece of writing? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
