Show Notes
Today’s Talmud pages, Gittin 80 and 81, tell a tale of documents unknowingly given to the wrong people, and the results of such a mistake. This reminds us of the types of mistakes that we see in many of the works of Shakespeare. We are joined by Shaina Trapedo who shares with us the many examples that we see throughout the work of the Bard that rely on letters, and the ways in which miscommunication can result in everything from making peace, to finding love, to being killed on the spot. What can we learn about the intention needed as we send our daily emails? Listen and find out.
