Show Notes

Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Batra 87 and 88, ponder a question that is every parent's nightmare: Who is responsible when your kid breaks something valuable? As a recent story from Israel, involving a 3,500 year old vase and a very curious toddler, demonstrates, it's a profound question about parenthood, education, and what kind of society we want to be. So why should we let children touch things even if they're likelyt o break them? Listen and find out.
