Sukkah 49: Kindness Is for the Living and the Dead
from Talking Talmud · host Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
A mystical text on the drain pipes in the Temple that were created during the six days of Creation. A challenging Gemara that, at base, reflects the position that everything is connected back to Creation. Also, a discourse on righteousness, and the value of doing charity and justice... and acting with kindness. The Gemara compares acts of justice and acts of kindness, to laud kindness as having 3 advantages over justice. [Unclear why Yardaena is heard here in stereo - Anne can assure you that she didn't sound that way during recording]
