In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast (Ep. 27), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe learns the Talmud from Tractate Shabbos 31a and discusses the story of a convert who approached Shamai and wanted to convert on condition that he would be appointed the Kohen Gadol, the High Priest. Shamai turned him away, but Hillel converted him and gently guided him to the path of Torah.The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way. Many claim that they cannot learn Talmud because it is in ancient Aramaic or the concepts are too difficult. Well, no more excuses. In this podcast you will experience the refreshing and eye-opening teachings while gaining an amazing appreciation for the divine wisdom of the Torah and the depths of the Talmud.This episode is dedicated in honor of our friend, Eric Goldfarb from Canada, for being such an incredible friend!****To listen to other podcasts by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe: https://linktr.ee/ariwol
