Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
A story with R. Sheshet - in his visit to the exilarch, where he has concerns about the uprightness of the servants, who were not careful with kashrut (in particular, eating a limb from a live animal). With sends them into a fairly graphic show-and-tell, whereby R. Sheshet makes his point, the exilarch accepts it, and the servants try to harm him in return. But he triumphs each time. Also, a deep investigation of the stories about King Solomon and his encounters with demons, 3 stories of which are here, including building the Temple and throwing King Solomon out of the kingdom.
