תלמוד בבלי מסכת בבא בתרא דף ח עמוד ב
Rava compelled R. Nathan b. Ammi to contribute four hundred zuz for charity [Soncino translation]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. Four hundred zuz is a considerable amount of money, considered equivalent to two years' modest income. How could Rava force R. Nathan to give that much?
2. Should we compel those who have money to donate? Or should donating money be only a choice?
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
