There's no such thing in Judaism as a nobody coming along with a prophecy,
because there has to be character development that preceded it. Hear about
the Jewish view of prophecy and learn how to become less finite and less
needy as you work on yourself.

How could Jews worship the Golden Calf a short 40 days after G-d's voice shook their souls? Did they really think this cow could do the same? The sages say how the drive to worship idols was much stronger in those days then it is now. In this session, Rabbi Berkovits plugs us into a separate mindset of judging other situations and experiences as being totally favorably - to help us move us past the external circumstances of our daily lives. Hear also about the distinction between the Jewish soul and the non-Jewish soul.

When we read midrashim, sometimes we wonder if they are accurate or not.
Rabbi Berkovits explains how we should view midrashim and scientific facts
in the Gemara, as well as the laws in the Torah for which the reasons aren't
given.

In a tragic chapter of our history close to the destruction of the Holy Temple, terrible infighting among the Jews living in Jerusalem existed. The zealots were bent on defending their city from the Roman onslaught and the sages were begging to surrender and live under Roman law. Rav Yochanan managed to save Yavneh and the sages, but Jerusalem was crushed by the Roman war machine. What unfortunate incident blackened the reputation of the Sages - causing the Romans to harbor an everlasting hatred toward the rabbis?

As the Jews began to branch out into various countries, the chain of Torah was stretched to the utmost. How was it possible to maintain the integrity of the Oral Law as new generations left for new lands? Rabbi Berkovits focuses on Egypt, and how the famed Miamonides received his untainted Oral Tradition, and passed it on.

Egypt was far from the only community that received a strong Oral Tradition. France became a center of Torah where Rashi and his grandchildren, the Tosafists became another branch of Torah as it was passed from father to son. Rabbi Berkovits examines the differences between Sefardic law according to the Shulchan Aruch, and Ashkenazic law according to the Ramah, and how it was possible to have diverse halachic opinions if all were tracing themselves directly back to the original Oral Law.

Rav Yosef Karo's masterful work of halacha, Jewish law was based on the majority decisions of the great Rishonim. However, there was another view on how to arrive at the correct conclusions that was quite the opposite. Why did R' Karo's view carry the day? And in a more general sense, what is rabbinic law, and how is it decided that something must be added to the existing legal structure?
