Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 3 and 4, introduce us to a new tractate and a new order. In addition to beginning tractate Bava Kama, we are also starting the order of Nezikin, which is all about damages. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to set the stage for what we will be learning. Why is a tractate about the damage that your livestock can have on your neighbor associated with salvation? Listen and find out.
