Menachot 63 and 64 - How to Lose a Dynasty in One Easy Step
About this episode
On today's pages, Menachot 63 and 64, the Talmud drops us into one of Jewish history's most painful moments — a civil war between two Hasmonean brothers, each besieging the other for the throne of Jerusalem. What's remarkable is that even in the middle of their war, both sides kept sending up animals for the daily Temple offering, because some things matter more than politics. Then an old man with a good Greek education showed up and ruined everything. What happens when smart people give the worst possible advice? Listen and find out.
