Bava Kama 70 – Waiting For The Thing Entire

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 70 warns us not to make judgements based on partial information, but rather to wait until we have all of the information. This feels as though it was ripped right from our current newspaper and social media centric world. How often are reports made or posts shared when only a piece of the full story has come to light? What do we lose when we rush to judgement rather than making sure we have all the necessary information? Listen and find out.
