Summary
On today's page, Chullin 13, the Talmud lays down a strict prohibition against benefiting from anything an idol worshiper produces — a total cancellation, as it were. Presidential historian Dr. Tevi Troy joins us to trace that impulse through American history, landing on Herbert Hoover, the president who became so thoroughly persona non grata that a children's song was written about him as the villain. But Hoover didn't disappear — he came back and contributed anyway. Is the Talmud's cancel rule a model, or a ceiling? Listen and find out.
