Gittin 42 – The Dangers of Either/Or Thinking

In today’s Talmud page, Gittin 42, we read a conversation asking who should be paid if a slave is killed by an ox. This page, which deals with an issue so foreign to our current sensibilities, allows us the opportunity to meditate on the ways that even in our modern lives, we sometimes feel only half-free. What are some lessons we can learn about appreciating freedom? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
