Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Megillah 5 and 6, teach us that the Jewish people refused a prohibition on working on Purim. Michael Eisenberg, one of Israel’s most successful investors and the author of The Tree of Life and Prosperity: 21st Century Business Principles from the Book of Genesis, joins us to talk about what labor meant back in Talmudic times and what it means now, and whether universal basic income is an idea we should consider. Why plant saplings on Purim? Listen and find out.
