Take One: Beitzah 31 and 32

Take One Daf Yomi

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Beitzah 31 and 32, kick things off with a stark statement: All children of Abraham must show compassion to all of God's creatures. With the number of incarcerated Americans spiking by a whopping 500 percent in the last four decades, compassion doesn't seem to be something at which we currently excel. Rabbi Sholom Lipskar, who runs an organization dedicated to helping prisoners and other afflicted populations, joins us to talk about why we need to change the way we treat prisoners as well as the ways we think about prison. How can the teachings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe inspire us to stop warehousing people and prioritize compassion? Listen and find out.
