Menachot 53 - The Olive Tree

from Take One Daf Yomi · host Tablet Magazine

On today's page, Menachot 53, the Talmud offers something we could all use right now — a story of divine love and mercy set against the backdrop of the Temple's destruction. Abraham appears in the burning Temple and argues with God on behalf of the Jews, pushing back on every reason given for their punishment, refusing to give up even when the case against them seems airtight. In the end, God's answer comes in the form of an olive tree, and it's more comforting than you might expect. What does it mean that even at our worst, the promise hasn't been revoked? Listen and find out.
