The first episode starts with the thing that surprised Ezequiel most when he opened a page of Talmud: it preserves the arguments it rejected. He introduces the two great schools, Hillel and Shammai, and reads the famous line that both positions are words of the living God.
Next week: forgiving someone who has not asked, with a Holocaust survivor's granddaughter.
Dalia Grinberg's grandmother survived Auschwitz and refused to forgive. Dalia and Ezequiel read what Maimonides says about forgiveness, who must ask, and whether a victim is ever obliged to grant it.
