Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just -The Drive for Significance and the World to Come 12.05.24
Description
The Drive for Significance and the World to ComeRabbi Haber explores the concept of "kabod," or honor, as a powerful motivator, both negatively through the discomfort of disrespect and positively through the desire for recognition. He argues that the innate human aversion to insignificance in worldly matters can be leveraged to understand our potential desire for prominence in the spiritual realm. Even those who claim indifference to earthly status likely seek significance in other areas. This inherent need for some form of prominence, Haber suggests, can be channeled into a yearning for lasting honor in the afterlife. Therefore, just as we dislike being overlooked in this world, we should aspire to a prominent position in the world to come. This understanding serves as a potent impetus for spiritual growth and good deeds.
