Ever wondered why one translation of the Torah is celebrated and another shrouded in infamy? Discover the intriguing stories behind the ArtScroll Shas and the Septuagint, two monumental translations that have influenced Jewish scholarship in vastly different ways. Explore the impact of pivotal figures like Rav Eliashov, Rav Mordechai Gifter, and the generous Jerome Schottenstein, whose contributions shaped the ArtScroll's mission to make sacred texts more accessible. Contrast this with the Septuagint's controversial origins under King Ptolemy and its lasting negative implications on Jewish history.Join our thought-provoking discussion on the power of intent—or "kavana"—in shaping the outcomes of our actions. Through the wisdom of a revered rabbi, we delve into how pure intentions can turn ordinary acts into significant contributions, while ill intentions can lead to desecration. This episode challenges you to reflect on your own motivations and align them with a higher purpose, transforming your actions into a profound Kiddush Hashem.
