Today’s Talmud pages, Makkot 12 and 13, take up the thorny question of why, precisely, courts do not absolve those who are truly repentant. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain why we may be forgiven for our sins in shul on Yom Kippur, but not before an earthly judge. What was the most famous Talmudic discussion ever held in the United States, and how does it relate to the question at hand? Listen and find out.
