Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 110 and 111, dwell on an incident from the Book of Judges involving Moses’ grandson Jonathan, who found himself involved in idol worship. The rabbis discuss the three questions asked of Jonathan, three questions that still serve as an excellent guide to life. What are they? And why should we still be asking ourselves these questions every single day? Listen and find out.
