Taanit, Daf 19
Manage episode 380219988 series 1263010
Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Avi Strausberg looks at Masechet Taanit Daf 19.
In today’s episode, we learn the famous aggada of Honi the Circle-Maker who stands before God and boldly demands rain for a community in drought. We’ll think about what we can and cannot ask God for, focusing on when requests in prayer cross into inappropriate demands of God. We’ll reflect on the centrality of water as the stuff of our lives and think about the relationship between prayer and action as a means to address communal distress.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
This podcast is a collaboration with The Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem.
