Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Robert Scheinberg looks at Masechet Sukkah Daf 48.


Why would the ritual of Nisuch Ha-Mayim (water libations) become a flash point for disagreements among different groups of Jews? Why would a misstep in such a ceremony so bother the people at the Temple that they would pelt a priest with their etrogs? And the peculiar story of the two heretics, Sasson and Simcha, and how they feel that the entire Bible is really about them.


The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
