Shaina Taub, creator of the musical "Suffs," recently quoted Rabbi Tarfon's famous Talmudic wisdom "You are not obliged to finish the work, but neither are you free to desist from it" at the Tony Awards, sparking reflection on its relevance in various contexts.

Shaina Taub, the creator of the Broadway show "Suffs," referenced a Jewish text in her Tony Awards acceptance speech for best book of a musical and best original score.

The text explores the concept of Elijah's elusive fifth cup in the Passover Seder, which challenges traditional structures and highlights the tension between preserving the past and embracing the future.

The article discusses the presence of a "fifth question" at Passover Seder - "When do we eat?" and presents a historical and halakhic comparison regarding the timing of the meal and traditions around it.

The debate over whether Torah scholars should be exempt from military service in Israel has a long history rooted in Talmudic texts.
