About this episode
The episode explores Jewish folk medicine and unconventional healing practices as discussed in Chullin 33.
On today’s page, Chullin 33, the rabbis recommend a curious remedy for those recovering from illness, joining a long Jewish tradition of folk medicine, healing practices, and unconventional cures. From herbal concoctions and mystical amulets to remedies that sound downright bizarre to modern ears, generations of Jews searched for ways to care for body and soul alike. The daf invites us to reconsider what our ancestors were really doing when they experimented with healing. Were they merely superstitious, or were they engaged in an older form of biohacking? Listen and find out.
