On today's page, Menachot 95, a debate about the shewbread — the loaves that sat continuously in the Tabernacle as a permanent offering — asks what happens to their sacred status the moment the whole sanctuary is packed up and put on the road. The rabbis dig into the same verses and pull them in opposite directions, and just when you think the question is settled, a scholar arriving from the Land of Israel reframes the entire dispute. Can holiness travel? Listen and find out.
