Pesachim 108: Of Course Women Were Part of the Pesach Miracle!

Talking Talmud - Een podcast door Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

R. Sheshet would fast on Erev Pesach, to make sure he has an appetite later: "istenis." Also, even the poorest of Jews recline at the seder. What does the reclining of the 4 cups mean? There's a transformation from "we were slaves in Egypt" at the seder to the state of freedom. Including women, who were part of the miracle of the exodus from Egypt (with several possible interpretations of what that means, and a question on why this is mentioned altogether). Plus: Diluting the wine, and how forgiving the halakhah seems to be with regard to the 4 cups.
