Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 7, asks whether you should regard a person as poor because of their need to sell their land when it is of lower value, and thus make less money on the sale. Real estate agent Scott Harris returns to the show to discuss the ups and downs of New York real estate and shares how he sees this piece of Talmud, not as a discussion of who is poor and who is rich, but rather as a statement of how the community must remain responsible for each other. How much can you lose on your property if you sell at the wrong time? Listen and find out.
