Show Notes

In today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 52 and 53, we hear a story of when Satan came to visit two men who would fight each Shabbat evening. Tevi Troy, former Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services and the author of Fight House: Rivalries in the White House from Truman to Trump, joins us to tell the story of the fraught relationship between New York Times columnist William Sapphire and director of the Office of Management and Budget for President Carter, Bert Lance. The story tells of how the two reconciled with one another. How can a Christmas card help fix a fractured relationship? Listen and find out.
