Gittin 51 – Minors and Miners

In today’s Talmud page, Gittin 51, it states that a child, be they a minor or an adult is not responsible for the affairs of their parents, as we all find it so difficult to wrap our heads around the experiences of our ancestors. This was deeply felt on a visit to Deadwood, South Dakota, which was included in a recent Across the JEW.S.A. segment of our sister podcast Unorthodox. What were the Jews doing during the Gold Rush?
