In this debut episode of “Sages of the Talmud” with Morty Roth, we explore the life and legacy of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi, the redactor of the Mishnah. Morty brings to life the turbulent historical backdrop of Roman oppression, the threat to Torah transmission, and the courageous decision to commit the Oral Law to writing. Through stories of Yehuda HaNasi’s teachers, his wealth and leadership, his relationship with Roman emperors, and the personal traits that shaped him, we uncover timeless lessons in courage, responsibility, and preserving Jewish heritage.

This engaging discussion blends history, biography, and spiritual insight, showing how the choices of one leader nearly 2,000 years ago continue to shape Jewish life and learning today.
