Bava Kama 110 – We Are All Converts

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 110 continues the conversation of repaying a debt to a convert to Judaism after they have died. To our modern ears, it is difficult to consider the idea that a convert is different than one born a Jew. Instead, perhaps we should consider how we all make the choice to be Jews each day as we go through our lives. The food we choose to eat, the prayers we choose to take part in, the mitzvot we commit to making a part of our lives, are affirmations that we make to declare ourselves Jewish. What are other ways that we choose to be Jewish each day? Listen and find out.
