Bava Batra 12 and 13

Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 12 and 13, discuss the owners of prophecy after the destruction of the Temple. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to discuss the difference between the prophecy that comes directly from Hashem, and that which comes from wisdom from the mysteries of the world. Are the true prophets only children and fools? Listen and find out.
