Summary
On today’s page, Chullin 5, we encounter the towering and often feared figure of Rabban Gamliel, whose authority over the calendar sparks one of the Talmud’s most dramatic confrontations. When Rabbi Yehoshua challenges his ruling, he is ordered to appear carrying his staff and money on what he believes is Yom Kippur, forcing a painful public act of submission. The story reveals a system in which even time itself is determined not by perfect knowledge but by human institutions and the need for collective agreement. What does it take to live with decisions you believe are wrong for the sake of something larger? Listen and find out.
