Welcome to the Hundred and Eighty Seventh episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Ethan Linden looks at Masechet Eruvin Daf 32.

Who can we trust? That is the question of this daf. If we ask someone to do something for us, can we assume it is done? Perhaps the circumstances matter, or perhaps we can always assume that people we have tasked with a mission will perform the task. Or maybe we ought not to trust too much, lest we disappointed in the result.

Rabbi Ethan Linden is the rabbi of Shir Chadash Conservative Congregation in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is the author of the (made-up) book: Tractate Mardis Gras: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Parades. Prior to coming to New Orleans, Ethan was the Assistant Director of Camp Ramah in New England and the Rabbinic Advisor for the Student Conservative Minyan at the Harvard Hillel.

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