The Mechanics of Redemption

That was a marvelous discussion. I thought you were going to say that G-d "desperately" wanted to create a world, implying a lack of choice or at least an highly inequitable choice. I hope one day that my thoughts and their ב can be as organized, simple, and fluent as yours are. I like how you care enough about the question to point out the logical fallacies. I've always thought this way about arguments in conversation. Discussing fallacies I usually limit to myself and to very close and trusted friends.

There is a locked door and a pile of 100,000 keys and you or I find a key that opens the doors lock. Can we conclude that this key is the key that was made for this lock?

Gotta be real careful when investigating concepts with these kind of attributes. My friend whom I have deep discussions with believes for certain that key was certainly made for that lock. I was flabbergasted 😀 Reply

I would like all Shais Taub writings as they're released Thank You!! Reply

I listened to this twice. It's great. Reply

In Listening to the Mechanics of Redemption- I found that I am getting a better understanding of Mitzvot. The fact that when we do a Mitvah we are interacting with that part of the world and influencing for positive. IT gives me a much deeper understanding of the importance of all my interactions with people and my environment
Thank you for the class Reply

I agree....his lectures leave you feeling hungry for more learning, more understanding and more of....ohhhhh yes that makes perfect sense and its beautiful from that perspective why did i never see it that way before?!! Reply

Rabbi Taub... Is amazing....I stumbled (!) upon one of his lectures and since then have become addicted to his classes, no detox needed if you are like me...!! Reply

my 2 cents worth Being charged with mitzvah IS the reward- except you get the reward before carrying it out. Reply

thx this lecture is amazing - bringing so many chassidic thoughts down to a real-life way of thinking. Reply

I See Thank you Rabbi, and Chabad.org. It seems like the gist of what you are saying is that G-d wants us to serve Him b/c we recognize our own interests, for us to recognize the profound nature of existence. To realize that for G-d to tell us anything is a great blessing. Whether it is to do or not do, because G-d brought Himself down where he wants to be just by telling us, then all we have to do is do as instructed. That way we don't have to deal with confusion the same. Certainly, this seems like a long way away, but you say it is not. Reply
