Description
In today’s Talmud page, Kiddushin 17, the rabbis instruct us that we all deserve liberty and dignity, no matter how useful we are or how industrious. Professor Brian Horowitz, the editor of a new translation of a work by one of Russia's greatest forgotten Jewish writers, Lev Levanda, joins us to talk about the artist's belief in the emancipation of Russia's Jews, and about how his optimism soured first into despair and then into mental illness. Why is emancipation the beginning of the journey rather than its end? Listen and find out.
