About this episode
Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 83 begins with Yehuda HaNasi proclaiming that one should speak either the sacred language of Hebrew, or the language of the environment, at that time, Greek. Tablet Magazine’s Courtney Hazlett returns today to share her journey in learning Hebrew. While she began to learn in preparation for her Bat Mitzvah, she has double downed on her commitment to learning the language in response to October 7. What is so powerful about speaking in the holy language of the Torah? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter . Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
