In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 60, we hear the story of one hundred men who each betroth themselves to the same woman, each setting different time periods as conditions for their betrothal, and thus allowing space for the other men to attempt betrothal. In order to better understand this idea of the failures of each of these men in their betrothal attempt, we are joined by Arynne Wexler who shares her essay the “Freedom to Fail”. What can our experience of the Jewish holidays teach us about failure? Listen and find out.
