Welcome to the Eighty Seventh episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Jill Jacobs looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 88. Continuing from yesterday’s topic, today the rabbis imagine the moment of Matan Torah as a moment when the supernatural happens, and when life and death sit in the balance.

Rabbi Jill Jacobs is the Executive Director of Rabbis for Human Rights-North America. She is the author of There Shall Be No Needy: Pursuing Social Justice through Jewish Law and Tradition and Where Justice Dwells: A Hands-On Guide to Doing Social Justice in Your Jewish Community.

The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
