Shalom friends! Welcome to this minisode, in which we discover Abraham had his own tractate Avodah Zarah, which was a lot longer than ours, which makes me shudder to think what his Bava’s were like.

The holiday of #Shavuot is here, so it’s time to learn The Book of Ruth.
At the heart of it is Naomi, a woman navigating deep depression. Her story teaches us so much about LIVING again.
