Hey there and welcome back to take one the podcast.

That brings you just one fantastic page of Tombed each day.

And on today's pages, Menachot,

55 and 56, we learn a gorgeous lesson. Have a listen. Aba al-Bin-Gomel explains,

just a standard tumour is taken by estimate as there is no requirement for the amounts

I mean, I just broke one of your glasses, so I did behave exactly as I should have. But that is, when Jews break glasses, it's usually to mark a happy occasion. That's right. It is certainly not a sad

one. But what really struck me in this passage, and it struck me for the first time, literally

just now, as we were kind of opening up and thinking about it, is the term that the Talmud uses
