On today's pages, Menachot 49 and 50, the rabbis discuss how the vessels of the Temple — the menorah, the table, the shewbread — each had their own specific initiation ceremony before they could be considered truly holy. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain why the shewbread table could only be inaugurated on Shabbat, and what that strange rule has to say about the difference between a table and a family table. Is there something sitting in your dining room right now that's waiting to become something more? Listen and find out.
