Bava Kama 31 and 32 – Impossible to Inevitable to Easy

Today’s Talmud pages, Bava Kama 31 and 32, explore how running, unless you are trying to get home before the start of Shabbat, is an unnatural act. Tablet Senior Writer and avid runner Armin Rosen joins us to meditate on the zen of running. He explore what the experience like when you hit that wall at mile 17 or 18, when your are solely in your head, forcing yourself to push through towards the finish line. How can preparing for a marathon be like prayer? Listen and find out.
