Episode description
Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Taanit 23 and 24, introduce us to the magical Choni Ha'Me'agel, one part Gandalf and one part Rip van Winkle. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to discuss Choni's super-sized character, and what this Talmudic hero still has to teach us today. Did Choni really force God to make it rain? Listen and find out.
