About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Pesachim 117 , muses on the ways Jews see the world, in good times and bad, and the words they choose to describe their reality. Author Menachem Kaiser joins us to talk about his new book, which tells the story of a clandestine memoir his relative wrote while imprisoned in a Nazi camp that became a target for a gaggle of treasure hunting enthusiasts. What power do words have to heal and bring generations together? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
