Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Metzia 58, 59, and 60, deliver sound advice from the rabbis about the three sins you mustn’t commit if you don’t wish to end up in hell. Our very own Presidentscher Rav, Tevi Troy, joins us to shed light on these transgressions, and how presidents and politicians have delighted in them for decades. What did RFK wish he’d never done to LBJ? Listen and find out.
