Listen "Chagigah 12b: Bais Shammai and Bais Hillel: Heaven, Earth, and the Purpose of This World"
Episode Synopsis
This episode dives into the famous machlokes between Bais Shammai and Bais Hillel about what was created first — Heaven or Earth. Drawing on the Malbim (Bamidbar 19:2), we uncover the deeper worldview behind their disagreement: Is this world only a means to reach the next, or is it holy in its own right? We’ll connect this to their different approaches to everyday life — like how they prepared for Shabbos — and see how one debate reflects an entire philosophy of how to live in this world.
