About this episode
Today’s Talmud page, Nazir 3 , jumps right into the heart of the matter. Or, should we say the hair of the matter? Stephanie Butnick , co-host of the Unorthodox podcast, joins us to discuss why the Talmud spent so much time thinking about Jewish hair, curly hair in particular. Is straightening your hair a statement on your Jewish identity? Listen and find out. Take One is a Tablet Studios production. The show is hosted by Liel Leibovitz, and is produced and edited by Darone Ruskay, Quinn Waller and Elie Bleier.
