Yevamot 113

Today’s Talmud page, Yevamot 113, makes an audacious claim: Women want to get married so badly they’ll say yes to almost anyone. Lisa Ann Sandell, children’s book author and editor and also wife of host Liel Leibovitz, joins to explore this question and explain why she was far less eager than her husband to say “I do” and tie the knot. What changed since Talmudic times when it comes to getting hitched, and what remains the same? Listen and find out.
