Can you imagine that every dollar you earn and every transaction you make is a profound topic of Jewish law, a 'sugya'? Picture a life where the boundary between the secular and the sacred is blurred, where your work is not a diversion from Torah but an integral part. Our guest, Rabbi Elephant, illuminates this concept, using the example of war spoils from Parseh's Matos. He challenges us to see that the division of these spoils was not a mundane task but a sacred act akin to earning a livelihood.

Rabbi Elephant takes us back to the wisdom of European Jews who wore the same Jewish cap in the office or the base Medrish, symbolizing that every aspect of their life was 'helig' or holy. He suggests that this might be what the mission meant when it said that all Torah that does not have 'Melacha' or work with it would eventually be nullified. In this illuminating conversation, Rabbi Elephant prompts us to consider our livelihood as a form of worship, a sugya that enriches our understanding of Torah and Jewish life. Tune in to this profound discussion and experience a paradigm shift in how you perceive your work and life.
