Description
WOW! What a conversation.
In Part 2 of our series on the authenticity and divinity of the Torah, Rabbi Wildes speaks with Rabhi Avraham Arieh Trugman - a Rennaisance Rabbi who has written over 20 books and has produced 9 albums of original music - about the incomprehensible depth of the text of the Torah. Rabbi Trugman specializes in utilizing the ancient method of Torah study known as Pardes which synthesizes multiple perspectives, from the basic text to the mystical meaning to illuminate a divine design hidden within the seemingly endless wisdom of the Torah.
We discuss how viewing the Torah as a code of interconnectivity and not just a storybook or a book of laws, sparks inspiration and reveals a whole new perspective that many today are yearning for. Is Gematria just a trick or is there something deep going on? How does the universal language of music and modern physics align with the Biblical story of Creation? Are the stories of our forefathers and foremothers just stories or are they archetypical in nature and have a lasting impact on the psyche of the Jewish people, affecting events far into the future? This was an absolutely incredible conversation that is a perfect contrast to last week's episode with Rabbi/Dr. Joshua Berman. You do NOT want to miss this!

Lunch and Learn: We're all experiencing our own Exodus this year: Preparing for Passover: Rabbi Wildes is finding connections between the Exodus from Egypt and other times Jews have been fled their home countries (Russia, Iran and so on), and how it relates to our current state of isolation and social distancing. We’re all feeling a sense of alienation this year. by The Wildescast
