Episode description

Back to the story of Beruriah. Note that she is in (brief) conversation with a Galilean, and she is presumably a Judean, which shifts the focus of the "women" discussion wholly. Besides which, she goes on to kick a student in the next line - if you were worried that she was promoting hypermodesty. Also, on the "248 limbs of the body." And if you don't feel well - in your head, your throat, your stomach, etc. - you'll find your healing in learning Torah. Which is a comment on experience and values, of course, and not on medicine. Plus: The process if learning Torah, from Moshe to Aharon, Elazar and Itamar, the elders, and everyone after them. And everyone ends up reviewing the material 4 times. This and other pedagogical nuggets of wisdom further the Torah learner, and recognize the system of transmission by many to many. And the famous story of a student who needed the teacher's repetition 400x, this time, with an explanation for why so much repetition was needed, and what kind of patience and focus by the instructor.
