Take One

Sukkah 51 and 52

In today’s Daf Yomi pages, the Jewish Zen of failure

August 27, 2021

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Sukkah 51 and 52, bring up yet again the importance of knowing how to fail and learn from your mistakes.

Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain the specifically Jewish Zen of failing, and why it’s only those of us who’ve struggled who eventually grow.

Why does the Talmud tell us that the righteous and the sinners see failure very differently? Listen and find out.
