Sotah 39: An Infinite Circle of Blessing

Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

More on Birkat Kohanim. Plus, how R. Elazar Ben Shamua achieved a truly ling life - in never using a synagogue as a shortcut, among other respectful aspects of his comportment. Also, what the people say in response to the kohanim when they are duchening (saying the priestly blessing in shul). The formal response brings the people to bless God who has blessed them.
