Menachot 74 - Piped Dreams

from Take One Daf Yomi · host Tablet Magazine

On today's page, Menachot 74, the Talmud's discussion of drainpipes beneath the altar opens into a sweeping story about King David, a rising flood, a scheming advisor, and fifteen Psalms sung to pull the world back from the brink. At the center of it all is a king who knew what to do about the flood, but waited anyway, because his rabbi was in the room. The drainpipes, it turns out, are a metaphor — two small holes that channel everything fearsome so the waters never overwhelm us. What are the two things we need to keep the flood at bay? Listen and find out.
