Mussar HaTorah

Ki Savo 5785 - Beyond Checkbox Judaism


Listen Later

We all have that one area where we draw the line – maybe it's being on time, controlling our temper, or giving up a particular comfort. "I'm a good Jew," we tell ourselves, "I just struggle with this one thing." But what if that single exception isn't just a weakness to work on, but undermines our entire relationship with Torah? In this eye-opening episode, we delve into a startling verse from Parshas Ki Savo that reveals why the Ramban and Rabbenu Yonah viewed partial commitment as more perilous than outright rebellion. Through the powerful analogy of a servant who obeys everything except one command, you'll discover the psychological trap that keeps so many of us stuck in spiritual mediocrity – and the surprising path to genuine Torah transformation. Warning: this episode might completely change how you think about your Jewish observance.
