About this episode
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 71 and 72 share the story of a Rabbi changing his mind on an issue and explaining that the reason that he changed his mind was that the first answer came when he hadn’t eaten, and the second was his decision after eating a fine meal of meat. Tablet producer Josh Kross returns to discuss whether a good decision can be made if you haven’t eaten a meal of meat, or if a big meal can make you lethargic and sleepy. Does a full belly make you think differently than an empty one? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter . Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
