Bava Batra 133

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Batra 133, shows us something we rarely see in contemporary politics: s senior official refusing to play the blame game and instead being kind and supportive of his errant colleagues. Dr. Tevi Troy, our very own Presidentischer Rav, joins us to discuss in a very special Election Day episode. What should the McCain and Clinton campaigns have learned from the wise rabbis of the Talmud? Listen and find out.
