Thought entails energy and as such there are circumstances where, like any energy, the energy of thought can be amplified to have physical impact
Hashem bends the Torah according to the judgement of the Sanhedrin even when they appear to have erred. Yet this does not exonerate a learned individual from playing a part in the evolution of Halachik thought. Source Sheet
Atonement offers the opportunity to repair a wrong and avoid its consequences. But it goes further. When properly executed it also enables us to restore a fractured relationship with Hashem
An obligation such as indebtedness does not get cancelled by a gift, no matter how generous. Source Sheet
ntention and thought are both critical dimensions of a korban. They differ in that we can make assumptions about intentions and we can assign intention to action. Not so with respect to thought: We can never make assumptions about people‘s thoughts nor can we assign thoughts to their actions. A wrong thought can irretrievably damage the quality of an action – especially in korbanot Source Sheet
We explore the reason for and meaning of the study of Kodshim Source Sheet
In doing, our bias should be to action. In judging our bias should be to caution. When it comes to errors in judgement, fear of the full consequences of error is crucial. Source Sheet
Leadership has a level of responsibility beyond anything of the individual. However, their responsibility doesn’t relieve the individual of his own accountability. We examine the balance between individual and leadership responsibility for error Source Sheet
We express our true identities not by what we do but by what we refuse to do. What we do not do defines our boundaries, and our boundaries define our identities – as individuals, families, communities, nations and faiths. Source Sheet
How does the law of bittul - nullification (when something forbidden gets mixed with something permitted, if the quantities are small enough so that there is no felt experience of the forbidden substance, then it is nullified) work? Does the mixture take on the identity of the dominant, permitted substance, or does it retain its identity but may be ignored halachikly because its effect is not experienced? Source Sheet
Choices that are not motivated by any extrinsic factors are different from those that are made in response to an extrinsic event Source Sheet
When managing people, it is essential to clarify the degree of their authority, ownership and responsibility Source Sheet
“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” – Anaïs Nin Source Sheet
When a religious person is careful about certain areas of halacha but not about others, it doesn’t necessarily signify hypocrisy, it is more likely simply inconsistency, something we are all somewhat guilty of. Source Sheet
Sometimes two objects that look identical are defined differently. How does the Torah view these two objects, as similar or different? Source Sheet
The purpose of debate is not only to persuade others but also to reinforce our own ideas and beliefs Source Sheet
1One who does not keep the Shabbat does not allow the space and the time to explore their soul. They deny its existence, much like the idol worshipper denies the existence of an inner spiritual world. Source Sheet
Disgust is often an instinctual reaction to something that repels us. But disgust can also be a conscious choice we make that is a reinforcement of our values Source Sheet
Some prohibitions (especially Rabbinic prohibitions) attach to the action of an individual. Others attach to the object. In the case of Avodah Zarah the object is so contaminated that even Rabbinic Prohibition can attach to the object. Source Sheet
We have an example of how the great Poskim solve human and social problems within the guardrails of Halacha by fully understanding the context of the circumstance Source Sheet
