Show Notes
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 113, 114, and 115, continue the discussion of death, dying, and inheritance. Internationally acclaimed author Alice Hoffman joins us to discuss her new book, When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary, a bold and beautiful imagining of the lives of Anne Frank and her family members from the day of the Nazi invasion to the morning they go into hiding. How can a book with such a famously tragic ending yet be hopeful? And how is Anne Frank's story a meditation on one person's ability to leave behind a powerful legacy that changes the world? Listen and find out.
