Today’s Talmud page, Gittin 78, discusses the personal space that is one’s lap or one’s basket. Unorthodox co-host Stephanie Butnick returns to share her experiences of functioning in cramped spaces. From an aversion to having her pants touch the pants of the stranger sitting next to her on the subway, to her fondness for having her daughter in her lap, or her husband snuggling close, she shares the multiple responses to others invading her space. How might an Israeli experience a lack of personal space differently? Listen and find out.
