This week's page (Baba Bathra 13b-14b) gives you a DIY primer on make a Torah scroll, which naturally leads into a discussion of the dimensions of the Ark of the Convenant and the broken tablets. The Talmud then slips one of the most radical theological moments in between this discussion and the order of the Jewish bible canon, as the Talmud does. Enjoy!!
