Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Avi Strausberg looks at Masechet Taanit Daf 17.


In today’s episode, we explore why Cohanim were forbidden to drink in the days of the Temple and whether this prohibition would apply to Cohanim in our times. We’ll think about how our lives are different today in a post-Temple world and through the sugya, we’ll reflect on what we mean when we pray for the Temple to be rebuild speedily in our times.
