The Jewish History Podcast - With Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe

Ep. 78: The History and Development of Oral Torah (Part 2: Hasmoneans, Herod, and Hillel)


Listen Later

The Second Temple Era was an eventful time for the Jewish People and the perpetuation of Torah. Over the course of the Second Commonwealth our nation was blessed with great legends, such as Ezra, Shimon Ben Shetach, and Hillel, but the Nation faced unprecedented tests too: We were forced to contend with hostile foreign nations; internally, we suffered from discord and sectarianism; and at various times the Rabbis were targeted with assassinations and purges. To understand the imperative for the codification of Oral Torah, we must study the treacherous and perilous conditions of Torah in the Second Temple Era. This podcast was originally recorded for episode 33 of the TORAH 101 podcast and has been re-edited for The Jewish History Podcast.
