More on the case of the male twins whose heads emerged simultaneously -- where Rabbi Tarfon and Rabbi Akiva disagree. Also, delving in deeper, in terms of assessing the lambs, the stronger would go to the kohen, the weaker to the owner. In contrast to Rabbi Tarfon's claim that the first head out is the healthier stronger lamb - and he retracts that approach, eventually. Plus, narrowing the case of the mishnah and understanding the psychology of Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Tarfon.

This morning atBreakfast & Class, we went back to the very beginning—to the first twoverses of the Torah. God creates heaven and earth, and yet almost immediatelywe encounter tohu vavohu:chaos and emptiness, darkness and an unfathomable abyss. Why would a perfectCreator begin His world this way?

Drawing on his combat experiences, extraordinary moments
