Welcome to the Fifty Fifth episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi David Rosenn looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 56. In today’s daf, we’ll look at the connections between sin and death, and hear the sages of the Talmud defend some of the Bible’s greatest sinners. We’ll also see that the Talmud has some surprisingly modern views about the doctrine of reward and punishment.
Rabbi David Rosenn is the Chief Operating Officer at the New Israel Fund. A graduate of JTS, David is also is the founder of AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps.
The opening and closing music for this podcast is Ufros from The Epichorus album One Bead.
