Sanhedrin 70: Wine That Gladdens, Wine That Destroys
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
A new mishnah! From when is this son going to be liable as "ben sorer u-moreh"? He needs to eat and drink a certain amount of meat an wine (with dispute as to how much) -- but then the mishnah lists many ways that this person could eat and be exempt from being a ben sorer u-moreh (both for good kinds of meals and or sins, which carry their own punishment or consequence, but can't make him a ben sorer u-moreh. Also, a deep dive into "wine" -- spinning off from this beverage, including those who misuse wine, or as a buffer, but in the context of wrong-doing. Including all kinds of biblical statements about wine. Plus, the story of Noah and his son Ham, who "uncovered his father's nakedness" - when Noah was drunk, after the ark. And the comparison to Adam's story with wine - according to the interpretation that the Tree of Knowledge was a vine.
