Take One: Shabbat 105 and 106 - a podcast by Tablet Magazine

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Shabbat 105 and 106, begin with a startling ruling: If you break some of the laws of Shabbat because you are anguished about the death of a loved one, you should be exempt from the consequences.

What to do when the hospital puts you on hold and forces you to listen to upbeat smooth jazz? Listen and find out.
