Bava Kama 42 – What’s In A Name?

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 42, explains that if a woman is killed by an Ox, the payment for the injuries is not paid to the woman’s husband, but rather to her heirs. Ahuva Warburg Halpern joins us and introduces us to her newborn daughter Mindy Bracha Eden, and explains the importance of each of the babies names, and how they were passed down from other important women, both from her family and her community. What do we pass down when we name a child? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
