Take One

Yoma 68 and 69

In today’s Daf Yomi pages, the mystery man of Yom Kippur

June 18, 2021

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Yoma 68 and 69, introduce us to the Ish Iti, the “man of time,” the mystery person of the Yom Kippur ritual. 

Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to talk about this figure and how understanding his role in the holiest day of the year gives us insight into what Judaism asks of each one of us. Why should we want to be more like the Ish Iti and less like the High Priest? Listen and find out.
