Today’s Daf Yomi page, Yevamot 31, deals with what to do when the circumstances of a person's death are uncertain but his widow wishes to remarry. Rabbi David Yosef joins us to talk about his late, great father, Rav Ovadia Yosef, who, after Israel's 1973 Yom Kippur War, presided over a major undertaking to help that war's widows. How did the celebrated rabbi reconcile ancient rabbinic rulings with the modern circumstances of the battlefield? Listen and find out.
