Description

In this episode, A Nation Tailored in Fire, I explore a powerful teaching from Rav Avigdor Miller about how Hashem created the Jewish people with a fiery nature—stubborn, passionate, and relentless—and then gave us a fiery Torah perfectly suited to that design. Each mitzvah acts like a custom-made suit, shaping and channeling that inner fire toward holiness instead of letting it burn out of control. Our very nature, which can seem difficult or defiant, was intentionally crafted for greatness. By the end of this episode, you’ll see how the Torah wasn’t given to restrain the Jewish spirit—it was given to refine it and reveal its divine strength.
