About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yoma 47 and 48 , find the rabbis grateful for their existence and their upbringing, so, naturally, they thank their mothers and then dive right into a discussion of just what it was that their mothers did to raise such fine sons. Alana Newhouse , editor in chief of Tablet Magazine , joins us to discuss the tension she feels about bringing God into the motherhood conversation, and the difficulties of reconciling the mystical aspects of child-rearing with the hardships imposed on it by mankind.
