In today’s Talmud pages, Kiddushin 21 and 22, Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai expresses the special place that the ear plays above all other parts of the body. A dedicated lover of music and all things audio, Tablet producer Josh Kross joins us to discuss the importance that sound plays in how we experience the world. In addition to discussing the centrality of the sense of hearing, we share a segment from a recent episode of Unorthodox about the National Library of Israel’s music and sound archive. If forced to choose between losing sight or hearing, which would our guest choose? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
