About this episode
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 129 and 130 , pose a difficult question about Halacha, or Jewish law. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explore this profound and beautiful insight into how Halacha is not a stringent set of rules but a language that helps all Jews figure out their connection to each other. How do we learn to speak Halacha? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter . Send us a note at takeone@tabletmag.com .
