Take One Daf Yomi Bava Kama 59 and 60 – Black Shoes
Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 59 and 60, tell the story of a man who was wearing black shoes to mourn the destruction of the Temple, and found himself imprisoned for his choice of footwear. Tevi Troy returns to discuss another man who showed arrogance in his words and actions and the lessons that can be learned by both. What are the two words that are worth a ten thousand dollar invoice? Listen and find out.
