Take One: Nedarim 54 and 55

Today’s Talmud pages, Nedarim 54 and 55, offer us a beautiful meditation on humility and gratitude. But does Judaism actually condone humility, or does it also advocate the occasional bout of chutzpah? Rabbi Diana Fersko joins us with some insights on some of history's greatest Jews and their struggles to keep their egos from swelling up. How humble is too humble? Listen and find out.
