About this episode
Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 112 asks what is a child’s obligation if their parent borrows a cow to use for agricultural work, and then dies. Hudson Leibovitz joins us to discuss a more modern version of this quandary, and shares what he thinks about being responsible for the deals that his father made. He also shares the difference between what he is responsible for versus what might just be an accident. What is an unavoidable accident, and who is responsible when one occurs? Listen and find out.
