Bava Batra 135

Today’s Talmud Page, Bava Batra 135, teaches us that a will means nothing unless it was passed down to the next of kin. Tablet podcast producer Josh Kross joins us to discuss how this insight shaped his parenting sensibilities, and how it inspired his son Miles, who voted this week for the very first time. What must we pass down to our children, and how to make sure we do so properly? Listen and find out.
