Today’s Daf Yomi page, Yoma 39, tells a very eerie story about Shimon Ha'Tzadik seeing his own death. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain the real meaning of Shimon's mysterious apparitions, and what they can teach us about optimism, responsibility, and leadership. Who was the ominous man in black Shimon saw just a week before he died? Listen and find out.
