DAF DISCUSSIONS - AVODAH ZARAH 18

S. Friedman asked:

This is a quote from your web site: http://www.shemayisrael.co.il/dafyomi2/azarah/reviewa/az-ra-18.htm

(e) According to some, it was a result of this episode that Rebbi Meir fled to Bavel; whereas according to others, it was the episode with his wife B'ruri'ah, where as a result of a test that he put her through and which she failed, she committed suicide (as we learned in Kidushin). Out of embarrassment, Rebbi Meir moved to Bavel.

Where in Kidushin is this story?

Thank you.

The Kollel replies:

Greetings,

The reference in the Daf-Review is an error (we have corrected it in our Archives). Rashi there in Avodah Zarah (18b) is referring only to the statement of "Nashim Da'atan Kalos" when he refers to Kidushin 80b. He describes the incident involving Beruryah's death based on a Midrash, but we have been unable to find the incident in any of the Midrashim.
