Gittin 57

In today’s Talmud page, Gittin 57, we learn of a conversation between the translator Onkelos and Jesus of Nazareth. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to dig into this story, and explores the ways that the Talmud focuses on how Jews are to sustain their connection to God once the Temple was destroyed. Why was Onkelos the only character who could have had such a conversation with Jesus in the Talmud? Listen and find out.
