Surprise Text: When Is It Ok To Poke the Bear?

R. Marcus surprises R. Rachel with a text she never delved deeply into in the Babylonian Talmud Tractate Brachot (7b) asking the question- when is it ok to poke the bear? When is it ok to do something that you know will upset a powerful but evil person? Learn this text with us and see how two rabbis break down an important Talmudic text.

About the Podcast

TRTM: They're Rabbis & They're Married
Come share the joys, struggles, and everything in between of living jewishly
What does it mean to be Rabbis who are married to each other? What does it mean to live Jewishly? What are ways that I can incorporate Jewish wisdom, values, and practices into my everyday life? Join Rabbi Rachel and Rabbi Marcus, a husband-and-wife rabbi team who serve as the co-rabbis of Temple of Aaron in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as they bring you an intimate glimpse into how they live out their daily Jewish lives. Each episode they will share their joys, struggles and everything in between as they work to apply Jewish ideas, values, and practices to their daily lives—building a Jewish home, raising children, serving their community, and navigating their busy daily lives. Join Rabbis Rubenstein each episode to learn ways that you too can practice an open-minded, modern, human-oriented, and sincere Judaism in your everyday life.
Intro music by the very talented Coleen Dieker and Jeffrey Baldinger
