Rava teaches R. Nahman's Torah. (How) Can one be forced to sell something? How might one undermine a contract written under duress? Two stories: one about a buyer behaving badly; one about a demanding lover and jilted adult son. So, pull up a chair, grab a beverage, and join us in the bet midrash in the closet.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
