A Wiltshire prodigy poet has beaten thousands across the globe to be awarded a prestigious poetry prize.

Today’s Daf Yomi reading continues a discussion of “ritual impurity of the deep” which the notes in the Koren Talmud tell us involves a grave found in a place where people have no previous knowledge of its existence. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish compares such impurity to a road. He said that a road represents impurity of the deep “until the entire world knows about it.” One is absolved by a priest’s frontplate if he sprinkled blood on the alter in the courtyard of the temple and only discovered afterwards that he was impure by contact with a hidden corpse.
