On today's pages, Menachot 54 and 55, the Talmud lays out the rules for separating tithes and quietly slips in one of its most beautiful ideas: that true generosity is described not as giving more, but as having beautiful eyes. Our guest, Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin, traces that phrase from the laws of tithes all the way to King David, the man introduced to us with those very same words, and asks what it would mean for all of us to see each other that way. What does it actually take to look at someone and really see them? Listen and find out.
