About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Chagigah 13 , mentions electricity, a few good centuries before Ben Franklin gazed longingly at his kite. DC Comics legend Jordan Gorfinkel joins us to discuss a page full of strange creatures that seem straight out of the X-Men series, and explain how the rabbis of the Talmud knew all about electric light. How is electricity a metaphor for learning? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
