There is a midrash (rabbinic narrative expansion) involving something known as “Ammonite wine”, which expands upon the incident in Numbers 25:1-3. To discuss this midrash, which can be found in various rabbinic texts, The Jewish Drinking Show welcomes first-time guest Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein. Rabbi Klein has published Lashon HaKodesh: History, Holiness, & Hebrew, as well as the article “Between the Rivers Arnon and Jabbok”, Jewish Bible Quarterly, vol. 44, issue 2 (April-June 2016): 125-134. Just last month, he published God Versus Gods: Judaism in the Age of Idolatry.
