About this episode
On today's page, Menachot 109, the Talmud tells the story of Chonyo, a priest who steps aside to let his brother take the top job — then quietly undermines him, gets caught, and runs off to start his own rival altar. Dr. Tevi Troy, our presidential historian, joins us to explain why this ancient tale of ambition and betrayal sounds a lot like Aaron Burr. What do a Talmudic priest and the man who shot Alexander Hamilton have in common? Listen and find out.
