Menachot 83, 84, and 85 - The Secrets of the Humble Farmer

from Take One Daf Yomi · host Tablet Magazine

On today’s pages, Menachot 83, 84, and 85, we follow the journey of an agent tasked with finding the finest oil in the land. After being turned away in multiple towns, he finds a simple farmer in Gush Chalav who appears unremarkable until he reveals an olive grove so bountiful it yields more oil than the agent has money to buy. Our very own Presidentischer Rav, Tevi Troy, joins us to explain how this ancient tale of hidden wealth mirrors the "hidden hand" presidencies of leaders like Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan.
