Today’s Talmud page, Ketubot 22, tells an uproarious story of a woman who lied to her suitors until Mr. Right came along. Our producer, Quinn Waller, joins us to share her own experiences in New York's pitiless dating scene, and finds surprising modern-day relevance in the Talmud's approach to what to do on a bad first date. Is lying to your date acceptable if you're trying to spare their feelings? Listen and find out.
