Sotah 14: Mimicking God, and Protecting the Sotah
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
On Moshe's burial - and how the Romans didn't find the place either. Also, interpretations of how people can come close to God, including mirroring His attributes. Which leads back to the burial of Moshe. Also, a new chapter with a new mishnah: The sotah's meal-offering, carried by her husband in an Egyptian wicker basket, to tire her out, and get her to the point that she'll confess, rather than drink the bitter waters. Plus, the sages' assessment of her meal-offering as suitable for her alleged offense, as well as the attempt to protect her.
