Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi David Greenstein looks at Masechet Beitza Daf 36.
We examine the relative values of human dignity, property values and the sacred atmosphere of Shabbat and Yom Tov. When such values come into conflict, which must make way before the other? The Talmud relates a story of an idealistic student and a pragmatic teacher. Who is right?
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
