When do civil law and Torah law intersect? This class explores everyday examples like traffic laws, parking, and littering, and then shifts to real disputes where the stakes are higher. Using a landmark approach from Rav Moshe Feinstein on landlord-tenant norms, we examine how contracts, local custom, and government policy shape Torah obligations, and where Torah law ultimately draws the final boundary.
Marriage thrives on a healthy flow of giving and receiving. Drawing from the relationship between G-d and the Jewish people, this class explores how true receiving activates giving, and why the giver must first create safety and leadership. You’ll learn how a wife invites giving by becoming a willing receiver, and how a husband strengthens the relationship by initiating and leading with responsibility and respect.
Like G-d, who gently asks to be welcomed, a strong marriage begins when both partners understand how to start the flow.
What if the way you judge other people says less about them and more about you? A rabbi spent his entire life treating his criminal neighbors with kindness, but they only changed after he died. Was there a flaw in his approach, or was something on their end standing in the way? This lesson unpacks a story from Tractate Sanhedrin to examine the gap between judging others favorably and judging yourself honestly, and the role that gap might be playing in your own life.
