About this episode

The episode discusses modesty, motivation in Judaism, and a specific mishnah about the 30th day of Naziriteship.

After a long ramble about modesty, Xava's upcoming paper, and motivation in Judaism, we get around to a nifty little mishnah about that slippery, weird, in-between day of Naziriteship we call day 30.
