Kiddushin 54 and 55 – The Torah Was Not Given to Angels

In today’s Talmud pages, Kiddushin 54 and 55, the Rabbis discuss what to do about the misuse of monies that were originally collected for the holy work of the upkeep of the Temple. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin returns to discuss the idea that it is our failings that make us who we are. In exploring the idea that “the torah was not given to angels” he helps us to understand that we need not be perfect to have purpose and holiness in our lives. How should we respond to our evil inclinations? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
