Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Miriam-Simma Walfish looks at Masechet Sukkah Daf 40.
Today’s daf engages in the question of what sabbatical produce may be used for leading to the question of what the primary purpose of the ban on agricultural labor during the sabbatical year. Is it to give the land a rest or is it to serve as an economic equalizer?
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
