About this episode

The episode explores the significance of rare temple items and their impact on our perception of value and experience.

On today’s page, Menachot 101, the Sages discuss items like frankincense and temple vessels that were so rare they could never be redeemed for money. Producer Josh Kross joins us to discuss the "ecstasy" of the rare find, comparing these ancient sanctified objects to the hunt for the perfect, out-of-print vinyl pressing. How does experiencing something truly precious change our relationship to the world around us? Listen and find out.
