About this episode
In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 16 , we read about the severance that must be paid to a slave at the end of their term of service. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to teach us about the mitzvah of not sending a worker away empty handed, and explores what this can teach us about appreciating those who play pivotal roles in our lives, and how sending them off with a gift expresses how important they are to us.
