Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, William Friedman looks at Masechet Ketubot, Daf 46.

Ketubot 46 features a fascinating debate about reading the Torah “literally” or “metaphorically” and, I argue, tries to break down the distinction between those reading strategies.

The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
