On today’s pages, Zevachim 28 and 29, the rabbis return to a central theme: the power of kavanah—intentionality in action. A sacrifice counts only when it’s offered with total focus of heart and mind. To bring this teaching to life, we revisit a stirring speech from farmer and Tablet Magazine Sinai Award winner Joel Salatin, who speaks about devotion, purpose, and caring for God’s creation. How can the discipline of intent turn ordinary work into sacred service? Listen and find out.
