Kiddushin 4 – Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman

In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 4, there is a comment that a young woman remains a minor until the age of twenty, when she immediately becomes a woman. Unorthodox co-host Stephanie Butnick joins us to explore the strangeness of the choice of that age, and discusses how becoming a Bat Mitzvah is now considered being a responsible member of the community, but how truly becoming an adult is a longer process. At what age did Stephanie finally feel like an adult? Listen and find out.
