Show Notes

Today’s Daf Yomi page, Pesachim 54, tells us that so many of the things we adore, from rainbows to writing, were created at twilight on the first Shabbat eve. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to unveil the symbolic meaning of that magical first Shabbat, and what it can teach us about time and about injecting a bit of holiness into our very hectic calendars. Why did fire have to wait until after Shabbat to come into the world? Listen and find out.
