Kiddushin 82 and Bava Kama 2 – Concluding Tractate Kiddushin

Today’s Talmud pages, Kiddushin 82 and Bava Kama 2, bring us to the end of Tractate Kiddushin. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to reflect on what is in and not in this tractate. He considers why a tractate about marriage doesn’t outline how a marriage ceremony should take place, and posits that the word Kiddushin, which is the name of tractate translates to holiness, and that holiness is all about preparation. How is Talmud study similar to marriage? Listen and find out. If you would like to read Rabbi Bashevkin’s essay, you can read it here. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
