What's the best way for someone to balance Talmud study with other duties in life, especially for someone whose living is not connected to Talmud? Reply
I can help but wonder how these laws could be used by the unscrupulous to take advantage of people of lesser means. Reply
That is exactly why ALL Jews should understand this. As of years past, without understanding Judaism and how it functions, The Goyim could convert the "People of lesser means." Since the Goyim Text is not that difficult and makes you feel like you understand everything. Jews that do have this knowledge can explain to the "Jews of lesser means" the Truth. We could see this in the Jewish conversion to christianity and Muslim or Islam, religions that promise everything and make you feel that you know everything. This has a higher potential of leading the unsuspecting person to Evil. Reply

Yes they are still available, look for the word "handouts" under the player, there are several links there to the handouts. Reply
Brilliant - Thank you
One point - On a simplistic basis, Rashi teaches us how understand and Tosefus teaches us how to think - that's why we need both on the page.
My Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi CP Scheinberg z"l told us that when he was in the Mir in Europe, the Rov of Mir - Rav Kamai z"l would come into the yeshiva and the giants of the yeshiva would surround him and fire their difficult questions at him, and he would answer all their questions with diyukim in Rashi.
