On today’s page, Menachot 37, we encounter a question that seems more like a riddle than a ritual: If a man has two heads, where does he place his tefillin? While Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi initially dismisses the query as absurd, the reality of a two-headed child soon forces a reconsideration of what is truly "impossible". This page serves as a humbling reminder that even the greatest minds have limits, and that God’s creation often exceeds our standard logic. How do we respond when the world presents us with something that defies our categories? Listen and find out.
