Bava Kamma 38: Fulfilling Your Role on Earth
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Some aggadata... Addressing the verse that teaches the Jew vs. non-Jew's goring ox and the obligation to pay. Which explains why a Canaanite's ox would incur full damages. Plus, a discussion of the obligation to keep commandments that they didn't want to keep - and the lack of reward for them. And the principle that those who are commanded get greater reward for fulfilling those commandments. Also, the death of a daughter of a sage who comes from a family of converts, and how Ulla first refuses to go to comfort him, and then does, with some difficult language, including why God didn't have the Israelites go to war with Moav, in the wilderness of the Book of Numbers.
