Today’s Talmud pages, Sotah 44 and 45, talk about what the elders are to do when they come into contact with a dead body in order to indicate that they are not responsible for the death. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain the ritual and explores the need to reflect on the societal responsibility to deal with both the injured and the one who commits the injury. Are we equally responsible for the person who is harmed and the person who commits the harm? Listen and find out?
