Kiddushin 74 – A Jagged Little Sentence

In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 74, we read a line which might be uncomfortable to us in this modern day as it discusses “unflawed lineage” and the prohibition on who they can or cannot marry. Activist and content creator Hallel Abramowitz-Silverman joins us to unpack this complicated text to see how we could view it not as a way to be exclusionary, but instead to encourage us to think about the ways in which we have to both protect ourselves and be open and welcoming. What can we learn from conversations with people with whom we deeply disagree? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter. Send us a note at [email protected].
