Are you currently learning Msechet Taanit for the Daf Yomi cycle? Are you interested in thinking about how this Msechet can have practical ramifications in the modern world?
This podcast will go through a few ideas discussed on each daf and apply them to the climate crisis currently destroying our planet. Obviously, the writers of the gemara did not have the modern climate crisis in mind when they wrote this msechet, but Taanit is all about how to react--both practically and spiritually--when the environment is not behaving the way we humans would like it to. Tizku L'Mitzvot!

How can we as privileged humans empathize with the suffering brought about by the climate crisis? How can we make sure we are more salvation-driven than individually driven?
