Shanah tovah! We really hope you had a meaningful Rosh Hashanah.

This week we present the recording of a conversation Elliott had over the summer with Student Rabbi Mati Boulakia-Bortnick about another story from the Talmud about rabbinic hierarchy. Student Rabbi Mati adds in his reading of the Talmud through an autistic lens.

You can follow the section of the Talmud they are studying here: https://www.sefaria.org/Horayot.13b.11?lang=bi

You can find Student Rabbi Mati on Bluesky (@autisticrabbi.bsky.social). And you can find out more about the École Rabbinique de Paris here: https://www.ecolerabbiniquedeparis.org/

Next week in our regular slot, Elliott is in conversation with Alyth member, Irit Burkeman, as they mark the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks by reading poetry that has been written in response. Before then, on Wednesday we bring you a Kol Nidrei special: Elliott speaks to Rabbi Elli Tikvah Sarah about a sermon she gave on Kol Nidrei 1996 about the issue of Same-Sex Marriage.

If you have any comments or questions, or if there are any talmudic stories you would love Elliott and Kath to talk about, please be in touch with us at allelseis@alyth.org.uk – we would love to hear from you. You can also join the conversation on Facebook page, and we have just arrived on Bluesky, so please head over there to give us a follow as well.

If there are people in your life who you think would be interested, please tell them about All Else Is Commentary.
