Welcome to the Eighty Fifth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Jill Jacobs looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 86. Today’s daf asks “When is a person ready to receive Torah?” According to the rabbis, one needs to be ready both spiritually and physically. And that leads to some fascinating speculation about sex and reproduction.
