Bava Kama 6 – Liable for Damages

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 6, discusses the circumstances for when a person is liable for destruction caused by a tree or wall on their property that falls and causes harm. Tablet Editor in Chief Alana Newhouse joins us to discuss a new package of stories posted on Tablet entitled What Now that deal with the aftermath of October 7, and her piece which focused on the responsibilities of Jewish communal leadership in the wake of the Gaza attack. What lessons for today should we be learning from today’s page of Talmud? Listen and find out.
