Episode Description from the Publisher

Here's one of my favorite stories from the Talmud. I hope you find some inspiration in it.  Please note that starting next week the podcast will have a new name: The Art/Lab Podcast: Conversations About Jewish Arts and Culture.  If you are a subscriber you don't need to change a thing. You will notice some changes in the artwork for the podcast (see below), but everything else will remain the same.  But do make a note about the new name so you can tell other folks what to look for when they need great podcasts!  The Genesis: Conversations About Jewish Arts and Culture is conceived of and created by Rabbi Josh Rose, and is a program of Art/Lab: Jewish Arts and Culture. Theme music by Rabbi Josh Rose.
