About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 35 , gives us a mystery right out of the Talented Mr. Ripley: Is the etrog we know and love secretly an impostor? Was it the humble pepper we were supposed to bless all along? Rabbi David Moster joins us to discuss the elusive fruit, and how it rose to prominence. How did a Chinese fruit embraced by the Persians come to be the hero of Sukkot? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
