Parashat VaEthannan: Balancing Philosophical Passion and Moral Fidelity

Published: Aug. 20, 2019, 1:11 a.m.

In this week's podcast, we continue our explanation of the function of Sefer Debarim as a whole. We also discuss some of the differences between the Yitro decalogue and that in our Parasha. We close with the following question: "Which is more important -- a passionate religious feeling or a fidelity to the laws of the covenant?"

"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through."
