Today’s Talmud pages, Nazir 32 and 33, discuss the possibly incorrect opinion of Beit Hillel on the topic of erroneous consecration of a bull. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us for a live recording of the podcast to discuss the ways that Rambam ignored the authoritative take of the Talmud on this page to share his own opinion. Can we have our own interpretations of the Talmud if they contradict the authoritative take on a passage? Listen and find out.
