Today’s Daf Yomi page, Pesachim 81, brings up a mysterious concept: the impurity of the deep. Put simply, it revolves around the following question: If someone, somewhere in the world dies and no one knows about it, are all of us impure because of the possibility that we might've inadvertently come into contact with a dead body? Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Zuckier joins us to explain this Jewish Zen koan and its tremendous impact on Jewish thought. Who was the first Jew ever to suggest we just not worry so much? Listen and find out.
