Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Berakhot 4 and 5, begin with a king fretting about his sins and soul. He is King David: No stranger to all matters of transgression, the king nevertheless takes stock of his attempts to live righteously and worries about any possible future wrongdoings. Unorthodox co-host Stephanie Butnick joins us for a conversation about what men in the #MeToo era might learn from King David, and about the Talmud’s approach to suffering. Always wondered why bad things happened to good people? Listen and find out.
