More Talmud trash talk!

God's clap back is epic.
So, how come our spines becoming snakes? According to medieval commentators it is connected to the Luz bone, at the base of the spine, which is the key to physical reincarnation. Turning the spine into a snake destroys the Luz & bang! no more reincarnation.
lol. Am struggling to find accurate source material regarding Reform Judaism's elimination of Satan from the liturgy in the 1800s. Tried ChatGPT hoping it could help...it cheerfully and wholly fabricated some wonderful quotes that are not in the claimed source documents. oh well
Currently nerding out reading all the stories about the Baal Shem Tov vs. Satan in Shivhei ha-Besht. (There are a surprising number of them). My fav is the one with the talking/dybbuk frog. because...frogs 🐸🐸🐸
Any one else doing any fun Shabbat reading?
There's No Escaping Death💀
A nice PARALLEL between the TALMUD & a report in IBN HANBAL's "Kitab al-zuhd" about a time Solomon tried to prevent the Angel of Death from doing his job.
