In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 66, the story is told of how historically, the Jews would eat salty foods while they were building the Temple. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to explore what the salty foods are meant to remind us of. This tradition is a way in which the Jewish people stay in touch with their past, and continue to remember the sacrifices of our past, even, and especially in moments of happiness and holiness. What can we learn from this story today as we all feel so full of salty tears? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com.
