Re’eh 5783: Growth is Possible

Posted by Pardes Faculty on August 7, 2023
Topics: Tanakh, Pardes from Jerusalem, Torah, Re'eh, Devarim (Deuteronomy)

Zvi is joined from across the ocean with Pardes North America faculty associate Rabbi Brent Spodek, host of Good Jewish Lover, to discuss the weekly parsha. Brent discusses our tendency to lean on core negative images, failing to see ourselves as part of the picture and not acknowledging our partner’s imperfect efforts. How do we break this tendency, retaining a belief that we are both inherently good and inherently flawed?
