Measure for Measure Episode 2: Olives

20 min•3 mars 2023

Jews are ritually obligated to eat matzah during Passover. But how much matzah? Well, that depends on your views on the size of an olive. 

This episode was produced by Andrew Middleton and Liya Rechtman. 

Special thanks to Rabbi Natan Slifkin, founder of RationalistJudaism.com for his work on olives and biblical measurements.
