Description
Our brain has two halves, right and left, and yet, one of these sides has become brawny and beefy, whereas the other enfeebled and emaciated. Our society has pumped steroids into our ability to analyze, argue, and debate, and has allowed our talent for singing, dancing, and even reciting to whither and decay. In 1795, Schiller wrote that his society had become hyper-rational and needed to awaken its artistic side. In the parsha for this week, Moses instructs us that, to really understand the Torah, we must also learn a song (or is it a poem?), anticipating Schiller, as well as the Ancient Greeks, by thousands of years.steventobyweinberg.comIG: Stevehead0001Music: Gustav Mahler - "Ging heut' morgen übers Feld"
