Love that this is available! Next time maybe mute all the folks listening so we don't have all the noise from someone's microphone. Thanks!

I wish I had this class given to me when I was in Yeshiva😊... I feel like they just assume you know

[@my2cents49]

They do. Even most beginner's classes are designed to exclude people who didn't grow up frum and speaking Hebrew. I don't think it's always intentional, but rather that segment of Jewish society is just that secluded disconnected from worldwide Jewry, to the point that they aren't able to teach people.

[@worldyubi]

I need that

[@shaheedabdulazeez7366]

Is the Talmud "Divine"?

[@goldengun9970]

If you learn aboit the Talmud you will no how much the Talmud is and is not divine. The oral Torah is divine. Learn about what was written down in the mishna and why and same for gemorah and then you will have your answer which is not a total yes or no

[@ifyagotajaburadumsheep1752]

You losing me with that joke

[@johnbreitmeier3268]

That is because it is total nonsense which iss exactly what the Talmud is - Total Nonsense. This is Zen Buddhism for Jews. It means whatever the rabbis say it means at any given moment and hence really means nothing. This is what Jesus called the Tradition of the Elders which he despised. This is mind poison.

The two men in a chimney is not a joke. It is not funny. It is an illustrative exercise. Many will find it tedious.
