Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Ethan Linden looks at Masechet Beitza Daf 16.
How much can we count on God’s blessing? Should we follow Shammai the Elder and set aside that which has been given us in preparation for the lean times, or should we say, with Hillel the Elder, “Blessed is the Lord, day by day”? As usual in the Talmud, no answers, only questions.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
