Bava Batra 94 and 95 - Waiting for the Messiah

Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 94 and 95, tell the story of a strange way to resolve a financial dispute involving locking some of the money up and waiting for the Prophet Elijah to return to earth and adjudicate. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain why waiting for the Messiah is really an invitation for all of us to mend our ways here in this world. What would you do differently in your own life once the Messiah arrives? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
