About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yoma 19 and 20 , kick things off with a thorny question: Who, exactly, do our religious leaders work for? Rabbi Shlomo Zuckier joins us to talk about the Talmud's understanding of the concept of agency, and why it makes sense to have separate branches of religious leadership all in tense conversation with each other. Does the High Priest work for the Jewish People or for God himself? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
