About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Beitzah 3 and 4 , strike a surprisingly modern note when they bring up the concept of confirmation bias. Dr. Michelle Waldman Sarna , a psychologist and educator, joins us to explain this idea, and how the Talmud used it, way before therapists did, to help people find their place in a community. Why does one single dissident stand out even if a thousand others all fall into line? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
