Today’s Talmud pages, Ketubot 23 and 24, give us a playful but profound primer on everything from believing women to figuring out a person's ulterior motives as they talk about their friends. Rabbi Sari Laufer joins us to make sense of this intricate bit of Talmudic teaching, and what insights into friendship, prejudice, and empowerment it can still offer us today. What should you say when you're trying to help out your friend? Listen and find out.
