About this episode
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 108 and 109 , are all about family and inheritance, but today we take a brief break from the Talmud. Why? Because it's the eve of Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day, and we're thrilled to feature a beautiful audio essay by Yeshiva University's Dr. Shaina Trapedo, all about Shakespeare and Rachel Goldberg-Polin and the meaning of second chances. You can read a PDF version of the essay here . Wonder what Mrs. Freud started doing immediately after Sigmund passed away? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter .
