How do our perceptions, whether clear or confused, impact our understanding of Torah and our relationships?

In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Brent Chaim Spodek explore Parshat Re’eh, focusing on the intriguing and often perplexing laws of kashrut.

They challenge us to reflect on their own views and to strive for a more compassionate and discerning outlook on themselves and the world.
