About this episode
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Sukkah 7 , lets it be known that one of the walls of the sukkah is called the wall of laughter. Why? Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to shed light on the connection between Sukkot and humor, and why Jews have always been good about mixing tragedy with a bit of laughter. What, exactly, is so hilarious about watching someone slip on a banana peel? Listen and find out. Like the show? Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
