Today’s Talmud pages, Yevamot 102 and 103, make an astonishing claim: The Biblical heroine Yael fornicated no less than seven times with the evil king Sisra, but she was forgiven as she did so in the service of a righteous cause. Dr. Erica Brown joins us to speak of sin, pleasure, and duty, and whether it's ever ok to do bad, bad things for the best of reasons. What profoundly modern lesson does Yael have to teach us today?
