Take One: Berakhot 41
In today’s page of Talmud, a meditation on the essence of … sushi?
February 13, 2020
Today’s Daf Yomi, Berakhot 41, gets us into the nitty-gritty of how to say different blessings over different foodstuffs. It’s all fine and well when we’re talking wine, say, or bread, or an apple; but what about sushi? Do we bless the fish? The rice? The occasional bit of avocado? Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us with a breakdown of a fascinating conversation about how to think about what we eat. Why does every single kosher restaurant, even the pizza parlors and burger joints, also offer sushi? Listen and find out.
