Today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 45 and 46, share a wild story of Rav Ilish who was in prison until told by a bird that he could escape, and his choice of who to trust and who to take with him. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin adjusts our reading of this page to see it as a conversation about rupture, within a family or between God and the Jewish people. What can we learn about trust within a family through this story? Listen and find out.
