Abstract

This article offers a reading of a story from the Babylonian Talmud (Bava Batra 8a). Through this reading several key themes emerge, including: the power and politics of knowledge acquisition, the connection between spiritual and physical nourishment, the relationship between religious educators and students, and the meaning and value of religious knowledge itself. This article is intended to give all educators, regardless of religion or institutional affiliation, the opportunity to engage in reflective dialogue. The assumption of the author is that stories have the ability to change the way we approach our most basic responsibilities as religious educators.
