## Resource

On today’s pages, Chullin 8 and 9, the rabbis ask what practical skills every Torah scholar ought to possess beyond mastery of texts alone. A true scholar, they argue, should know how to write, perform rituals, tie knots, and serve the needs of the community when called upon. The daf presents a vision of wisdom grounded not in abstraction or prestige but in competence, usefulness, and responsibility to other people. What kind of learning matters if it cannot actually help anyone? Listen and find out.
