Bava Batra 74: The Leviathan and the Question of Magic

09.07.2024 | ד׳ באלול תשפ״ד

More of the dramatic, fantastical, fascinating passages. Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua traveled by ship – and they see a great light in the sea, which opens up a discussion about the Leviathan. Likewise, another trip, this time with apparent magic happening to the meat from which they had cut out the sciatic nerve, and the apparent magic that happens on that spot even a year later. Also, a deep focus on the Leviathan, male and female, as well as its placement in this chapter of Bava Batra.
