Show Notes
Today’s pages of Talmud, Yevamot 76 and 77, tell us about a man named Barzilai who was so licentious, he would get aroused merely by looking at a woman's dress. What can this Talmudic dude teach us about the pitfalls of Internet pornography? And what dangers do we face when we turn the holy work of sexual arousal into something fast, flat, cheap, and dirty? Listen and find out.
