Identifying with Jewish Law
Question
Hello, honorable Rabbi.
Personally, I find it hard to identify with some of the value-based, moral, and legal content found in Jewish law. But I do in fact believe that there is a God who gave the Torah.
1) Do you think this is a question one should deal with at all, or should I not deal with it since I already believe?
2) If so, do you write about this, or do you know where this difficulty is discussed?
Thank you very much 🙂
Answer
I didn’t understand. Observe it without identifying with it. Are you talking about a psychological difficulty? That’s a matter for a psychologist.
