About this episode
Today’s Talmud page, Ketubot 6 , tells us that a mourner is obligated to fulfill all of the Torah's commandments, except the one requiring him to put on tefillin. Marco Greenberg , who started putting on tefillin at 57 after losing his mother to COVID-19, joins us to share his unlikely spiritual journey and what his mornings feel like now that they begin with the ritual of tefillin. Why did the Talmud choose the strange and mystical word, splendor, to describe the experience? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
