Bava Metzia 78 - Making the Private Public with Tevi Troy

Take One Daf Yomi

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Metzia 78, introduces us to a new word - angaria, a term used to describe a situation in which the government has the right to seize property for public service. Tevi Troy returns to the show to discuss a personal experience with eminent domain. Is eminent domain the modern version of angaria? Listen and find out.


This episode is in memory of Bernard Dov Troy - Dov Moshe ben Tuviah.
