The tale of Dama ben Nesina: Daf Yomi Avodah Zarah:24—Episode 2016

Dama ben Nesina was approached by the Jews to provide precious stones for the apron of the High Priest. Dama declined since the key to the safe was beneath his fathers pillow and his father was resting. The gemara discusses the signficance of this tale. The gemara then proceeds to wrap up the discussion around Rabbi Eliezer's opinion prohibiting the purchase of a red heifer from pagans (or possibly non-Jews).Sefaria: https://www.sefaria.org/Avodah_Zarah.24a?lang=heEmail: [email protected]
