Taanit 19: Beyond Rain

Talking Talmud - Een podcast door Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

A new chapter, with a new marathon mishnah: The long process of increased severity of fasting and going public with it, etc., only applies to troubles from a lack of rain. But when it comes to plague, for example, God forbid, the most extreme crying out is put into play right away. Plus, the environs around a city that is going through this process join in. Also, the story of Choni the Circle-Maker. With some if the Gemara's discussion on this long mishnah, including some of the theology, what we're praying for, and so on.
