Bizarre Talmudic Scenarios
Whenever I see something about the Talmud in gentile-dominated spaces I tense up a bit. I&#x27;m not orthodox anymore, but I was orthodox for the first 20-odd years of my life so I&#x27;m in the unique position of being around a lot of gentiles but knowing a lot about Judaism and Jewish law. This article is pretty ok, but its format is probably confusing for a gentile audience. For reference:<p>a large number of Jews do &quot;daf yomi&quot; (translated: a page a day), where they learn a page a day of talmud, everyone being on the same cycle and thus learning the same page in paralel. Many publications, talmudology.com included, put out daily (or sometimes weekly) pieces on the daily page of talmud, often aimed at working and&#x2F;or unlearned people who don&#x27;t have the time or ability to learn through a page of talmud (and draw an idea or two out of it) every day. That&#x27;s why the article starts with &quot;On tomorrow’s page of Talmud&quot;. The page of talmud that everyone&#x27;s going to read tomorrow on the 30th is the 54th page of tractate Yevamot.
