Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 104 continues the conversation about whether one can designate an agent to accept payment on your behalf, and the Rabbis are not in agreement. Tevi Troy returns to discuss the many agents that Presidents must appoint to aide them in their administration, and the correct ways that such an agent should behave if they do not agree with the policies of the President that appointed them. During the Clinton administration, Peter Edelman, who was appointed by the President, disagreed with certain policies and chose to do the honorable thing and resign from his post. Is it appropriate for someone in the administration to publicly disagree with the President and remain in their post? Listen and find out. Like the show? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
