Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 41, explores what can and cannot be done with the carcass of an ox that has been stoned to death, indicating that you may give it as a gift to some, but must sell it to others. Producer Josh Kross joins us to share his experience of being treated differently than others while going through airport security, and discusses the very Talmudic ways that El Al security considers who to wave through and who needs extra attention. What can we learn from the distinctions between those that we can sell something to and those that we must gift it to? Listen and find out.
