Today’s Talmud pages, Nazir 48 and 49, tell us an amusing yet instructive story about teaching styles, and how one professor's methods can be vexatious to another. Yeshiva University student Benjamin Gottesman joins us to reflect on his own educational experience, and offer some pointers on how to maximize your emotional and intellectual growth. Do you actually burn more calories studying Talmud with a friend than you do at the gym? Listen and find out.
