Show Notes
Today’s Daf Yomi page, Eruvin 60, ends with one of the rabbis, Rabbi Idi, strangely dismissing the whole enterprise of prophecy. Why would a sage and a scholar speak this way? A.J. Berkovitz, assistant professor at Hebrew Union College, joins us to explain the Talmud's complicated relationship with revelation, and what important lessons it can still teach us today. How does dissing prophecy make us better students? Listen and find out.
