The Spiritual Value of Negative Commandments

We explore the Maor Vashemesh's original thesis splitting of mitzvot aseh vs lo saaseh in terms of the emotional attachment associated with negative commandments...How could the negative connect us in any way to the Divine?

The Repudiated Wife Part II

Podcast: Maor Vashemesh defines deveykut as access to Mochin Ila'in which is only possible through the attachment of Tefilah. The "residue" that follows when back in the real world ("shearis Mochin") gives him the ability to put into action the product of the inspiration. Punning on the word "beasamecha" as things that are "samui" hidden from view...the thoughts and inner work not open for scrutiny...even when performing mitzvot publically.

The Repudiated Wife

Commenting on Deut 21:15 "If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love..." The Degel sees "the man" as the Divine and the two wives as two types of soul. How to negotiate the different spaces of worldliness and worship?

Shiluach Hakein: A Spiritual Metaphor

The Degel uses Kabbalistic references to describe the actors in the mitzvah, the nest, the chicks/eggs and the mother bird. Each represents the hidden divine and the potential for rescuing the soul trapped in the grips of materialism or even worse addiction.

Either Cohen or Shofet

Not By Bread Alone

The Immersive Experience of Torah: Deuteronomy 1:1

In delineating the status of Moshe Rebeinu's prophecy in the book of Devorim we encounter 2 separate opinions, in one comparing his unique ability compared with other prophets and in another his expounding Torah as will others in future generations. The mystical approach (the Degel) undermines both rational approaches. Texts...
