Summary
On today's page, Chullin 7, the Talmud tells the story of Pinchas ben Ya'ir, a righteous man on a mission to ransom captives, who asks the River Ginai to split — and it does, not once but three times, each time on the merit of his righteousness alone. Presidential historian Dr. Tevi Troy joins us to draw a surprising line from that miracle straight to the logic he used working as the White House Jewish liaison under President Bush. What does a river splitting in ancient Israel have to do with seating charts at a presidential event? Listen and find out.
