Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Pesachim 76 and 77, raise an interesting question about what happens if a piece of bread absorbs the scent of wine set aside as a contribution to the priests. Does the bread, too, become holy simply because it now smells like the wine? Alana Newhouse, Tablet's editor in chief, returns to tell us how the brain processes our senses, and what it has to do with sanctity. What must it have been like to stand outside the Temple as sacrifices were offered? Listen and find out.
