Take One

Gittin 5 and 6

In today’s Talmud pages, back to basics

May 22, 2023

Today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 5 and 6, asks a complex question and shares the story of two rabbis trying to make sense of the answer. As we begin this new tractate, we thought it was a good opportunity to follow their example in asking questions. Producer Darone Ruskay was joined by Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin to get back to basics in our first “Talmud Explainer” episode in which they discuss the history of the Talmud, its various parts, and the meanings of those unfamiliar terms that are used throughout. Do you understand the difference between the Mishna and the Gemara? Listen and find out.
