Summary
On today's page, Menachot 109, the Talmud tells the story of Chonyo, a priest who steps aside to let his brother take the top job — then quietly undermines him, gets caught, and runs off to start his own rival altar.

What do a Talmudic priest and the man who shot Alexander Hamilton have in common? Listen and find out.
