Send us Fan MailWelcome to the no prerequisites, no judgement, no commitment Talmud study podcast. Grab your favorite beverage, or step into the great outdoors, and dive into the sea of Talmud with me.In order to mark and celebrate the completion of the first chapter of Baba Bathra, we invited Prof. Alyssa Gray to discuss her new book Charity in Rabbinic Judaism: Atonement, Rewards, and Righteousness. Our conversation illuminates some of the poverty relief material that we saw in the first chapter, in addition to putting that material in a larger context. And then we study a passage together. Its a blast.Pull up a chair, pour a libation, and join the celebration.The text that we studied is on 10a and can be accessed here:1. Vilna page (hebrew and aramaic) from Hebrewbooks.org2.
