About this episode
On today's pages, Menachot 77 and 78, the Talmud takes up the korban todah, the thanksgiving offering brought by anyone who survived a genuinely dangerous ordeal — crossing a sea, crossing a desert, recovering from illness, or being released from captivity. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain how that ancient sacrifice lives on today in the form of Birkat Hagomel, a blessing still recited by people emerging from crisis, including hostages released from Hamas captivity. At the heart of it all is one simple and staggering idea: your life didn't have to turn out this way. What does it mean to truly say thank you? Listen and find out.
