Wagensberg, Rabbi Aba on |
|


It's easy to look pious. We can fool most of the world most of the time - and sadly, we can even pull the wool over our own eyes. But does that external mask match our internal world? How can we check that our lives are being lived with an integrity that extends to all levels of who we are?


If you usually skip over the parsha talks, give a listen to Rabbi Wagensberg. Besides his unique presentation and dynamic style he adds an exciting twist to each week's parsha, often coming from a new vantage point.



This parsha is chock full of mitzvos such as Eishes Y'fas To'ar, returning lost objects and sha'atnez. While learning this weekly portion are we really expected to try and relate these diverse mitzvos to each other in a meaningful way? Rabbi Wagensberg shows us the many new lessons of life we can glean by using our mental capabilities to understand the underlying critical factors of each, and then how to relate them to each other.

Rabbi Wagnesberg connects the 37 topics in this week's parsha by weaving a fascinating picture of compassion and cruelty. Despite our tendency to view mercy as a trait that is always good, that may not be the true understanding of what a person in control of all his emotions looks like.


The rebellious son is the subject of much dialogue. Some say such a case never happened. Others said they've witnessed it themselves. But even without knowing which side is right, Rabbi Wagensberg spells out a very important lesson - no one is too far gone, regardless of how low they have fallen, and shows the way up from the bottom.
