Episode Synopsis

Imagine a child left alone in Las Vegas with an unlimited black credit card who starts committing heinous crimes. Who would you blame in such a scenario? This episode navigates through this thought-provoking question, leading us to Moshe Rabbeinu's historical defense of the Jewish people when God sought to eradicate them for their sins. We shed light on Moshe Rabbeinu's argument, which placed the blame not on the Jewish people, but on the excess wealth God had given them, akin to the child left in Las Vegas by his father. Dive into the teachings of Chazal, who honed in on the root cause of sin rather than the sin itself. Explore the significance of 'Haschala' - the beginning of each mitzvah and sin. This episode offers a deep dive into understanding the profound connection between morality, responsibility, and human behavior in the face of temptation. This episode isn't your typical Torah study; it's an enlightening journey that explores the complexities of human actions and divine judgment.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.
