Elson Israel Fellow Avi Gamulka presents Bava Batra’s Acid Trip: Down the Rabbit Hole with Rava bar bar Hanna. What happens when the Talmud stops arguing about property law… and starts telling sea-monster stories? In one of the strangest stretches of the Gemara, Raba bar bar Hana takes us on a series of bizarre travelogues that feel less like rabbinic discourse and more like a fever dream at sea. It’s the Talmud at its most surreal—playful, unsettling, and packed with meaning just below the surface. And just when things get weird… We’ll connect these mind-bending journeys to the spiritual energy of the season—the liminal, upside-down days between Purim and Pesach.
