Bava Batra 85 - Re-Form

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Batra 85, dives deep into the difference of commercial transactions occurring in the private versus the public domain. It's a tension that's still alive and well, as a new show, hosted by Rabbi Diana Fersko and producer Josh Kross explores; called Re-Form, it looks at the history of Reform Judaism in America, and how it navigated challenges of private versus public, tradition versus modernity, and other questions that are still very much relevant to American Jews today. What can we learn from these challenges in the wake of October 7? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
