About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Beitzah 2 , introduces us to Tractate Beitzah, which is all about the practices of Yom Tov, or holiday. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us with a preview of what to expect, and a meditation on how holidays are fundamentally different from Shabbat. Why is Beitzah, or an egg, the perfect symbol for this tractate's themes? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
