Summary

Instead of today's page, Chullin 14, we take a brief break from the daf itself to celebrate one of the great modern revolutions in Jewish learning: the effort to make Torah accessible to everyone. Joined by Rabbi Meni Even-Israel, we discuss the extraordinary legacy of his father, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, whose translations and commentaries transformed the Talmud, and now the Rambam and Mishnah, from forbidding texts into living conversations. The episode becomes a meditation on accessibility, transmission, and the radical idea that Jewish learning belongs not only to experts but to the entire Jewish people. What happens when sacred knowledge stops being hidden behind walls of expertise and becomes truly available to all? Listen and find out.
