Show Notes
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Moed Katan 16 and 17, warn us against studying Torah with rabbis who aren't pure and upright in their ways. Mark Oppenheimer joins us to share stories from his days as a religion columnist for The New York Times, and reflect on whether or not it's fair to hold our teachers to such high standards. What obligation, precisely, do members of the clergy have to lead impeccable lives? Listen and find out.
