Today’s Talmud pages, Sanhedrin 87 and 88, return to the notion of Ben Sorer u'Moreh, the rebellious son who the Torah instructs must be put to death. But on today's pages, the rabbis add a twist: His parents may save him simply by forgiving him. Rabbi Dovid Bashevkin joins us to explain this legal exception, and what it has to tell us about the resilience of the Jewish people. Why must we all believe in hope at first sight? Listen and find out.
