Description

Rabbi Johnny Solomon, a virtual rabbi based in Israel, delves into the depths of the concept of Emuna (faith) and addresses common misconceptions of Emuna, particularly during challenging times.Sharing insights from his personal journey, he emphasized the crucial role of individualized religious guidance. Topics include challenging the commandments, how a combination of humility and unwavering faith can serve as a compass, even when complete understanding remains elusive and the potential harm arising from overly simplistic or misguided interpretations of sacred principles.The fluidity of Jewish Law and encouraging a nuanced understanding of Emuna, allows for a balanced approach.Not everything may be fully comprehended, aligns with the essence of Emuna, which involves a journey of continuous exploration and growth.Mentioned in this podcast:Harav Aharon Lichtenstein's beautiful essay on "Bitachon"Connect with Rabbi Johnny Solomon: Website: https://rabbijohnnysolomon.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnnysolomonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/virtualrabbi/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVgVx-DfUa_0eT0ntNqESvA/videosListen to us:Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/5Ux5OupXGRTNLgJVttpcF1?si=lIL8nhOFTsuxiGP-QGy_TAItunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/listening-to-understand/id1729038630Comments or Suggestions? We’d love to hear from you:listeningtounderstandshow@gmail.com
