Description
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Beitzah 35, asks a question that seems right out of Seinfeld: If an impure person reaches into a vat of olives, do the olives then become impure, a sort of halachic take on the double dip rule? A.J. Jacobs joins us to talk about why the concept of purity remains so enticing, how it can prove hugely helpful in a time of a global pandemic, and why it should sometimes be altogether rejected. So, once and for all, is the five second rule true, or is it a myth? Listen and find out.
