Kirzner, Rabbi Yitzchak ztl on |
Rabbi Kirzner takes us back to the very first day of man’s life and the grave mistake he made when considering how to serve G-d. Often we convince ourselves that negative things are not only OK, but they are positive. Follow this class that describes the missing piece of trust in G-d and his ultimate knowledge we learned over and over as a nation, and the need to build that within ourselves on an individual level.
There are two separate periods of time that the world will experience. The first, where G-d is hidden and we are expected to rise to the challenge of finding Him. The second, when we experience the reward for the self-growth we’ve achieved. However, these two eras are related to each other deeply. When we understand what the final result is, we will realize the significance of each action we do.
G-d is loving. G-d is compassionate. G-d is upset. This way of speaking about Hashem makes Him sound like a glorified human being with supernatural powers. While we can understand that G-d relates to us in certain ways, it is crucial that we understand that this is not the essence of G-d. An excellent class that separates between G-d’s interaction with us and the rest of Him that we will never comprehend.
We like to envision our lives as humdrum, with shining moments of glory spotting the landscape. Rabbi Kirzner challenges our concept of day to day living, explaining that each and every action we make is either positive or negative, and has an effect. How can we relate to this concept and the enormous responsibility the significance of our actions carries?
Our capacity to choose between good and bad that directs our lives in the deepest of ways carries with it a price. Rabbi Kirzner discusses the punishment that follows after negative behavior and how it actually preserves and develops qualitative freedom. Also touched on is the concept of the suffering of the righteous and how their spiritual refinement brings them to compensate for the abuse of our ability to choose.
Feeling compelled to choose right over wrong because of our refined sense of morality does not compromise our freedom. However, being born with this level would be counterproductive. The world was created with a concealment of true spiritual values to lead us to working on ourselves to come to act out of clarity of truth. Learn how sincerely accepting the process of our lives helps us attain this view.
