Description

Facing the Yetzahara, the Jewish concept of the evil inclination is a battle that resonates globally. With the rise of scandals involving public figures, we are reminded that nobody is immune to the lure of its pull. We will take you through our understanding of this struggle, particularly within the context of sensual sins, and how it affects even the most righteous individuals, leading them down a path of guilt and spiritual disconnection. In our exploration, we turn to the teachings of Parshash Kisei, finding wisdom in the story of a soldier desiring a captive woman during the war - a metaphor for the battle against temptation. The Torah's approach to this overpowering desire offers a unique perspective. Rather than outright condemnation, it allows room for human urges to exist but encourages a period of waiting and reflection. In our conversation, we will discuss this concept of using delay as a strategy against the Yetzar hara and how even our inherent traits, like laziness, can be used to our advantage. So, ready yourself for a profound discussion on combating temptation and harnessing our inherent traits for spiritual growth.Support the showJoin the WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!JOIN HERE ---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly shiur on the Parsha of the week.
