Bava Kama 49 – Parenthood

Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 49, asks if we are worth more once we have children. Unorthodox co-host Stephanei Butnick returns to share how life for her has changed from pregnancy through the years since her daughter was born. The way that people treated her when pregnant, to the knowing glances she receives and send out as she walks down the streets, to the ways in which she must organize her time, life is different when you have a child. How many things can you check off of your to-do list in a day when you are a parent? Listen and find out.
