About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Yevamot 8 , is all about marriage, particularly in the aftermath of widowhood or divorce. Rabbi Dr. Stu Halpern , the editor of Esther in America, joins us to discuss that other Queen mentioned in the book of Esther, namely Vashti, whether she was killed or banished, and might her fate make a difference. Did Vashti really have a tail? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
