תלמוד בבלי, שבת סח:
ורבי יוחנן ורבי שמעון בן לקיש דאמרי תרוייהו. . . תינוק שנשבה בין הנכרים וגר שנתגייר לבין הנכרים - פטור.
Rabbi Yochanan and Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish both said, “. . . A child that was captured by the gentiles, and a convert that converted amidst the gentiles, is exempt.”
[Translation by Rabbi Steve Greenberg]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
Why is a child captured by the gentiles exempt?
Could a gay person be seen in the same light?
What would the implications be of a comparing these two?"
Time Period: Rabbinic (Maccabees through the Talmud)
