Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 68 discusses the consequences for a kidnapping, as no one will ever be able to get over the despair of being kidnapped, or to have a loved one kidnapped. During a recent recording trip in Israel, Take One producer Elie Blier visited Kidnapped Persons Square to spend some time with the friends and family members of those held captive. This is the audio of his experience. How are we to remain hopeful when your loved one is in captivity? Listen and find out.
