Good deeds, and the essence of the mitzvot
Hello Rabbi.
1) Does the rabbi have a recommendation for a book that contains Torah readings for the weekly portion / Shulchan Shabbat, that are logical and not nonsense as is common in our regions? I would prefer ones with a moral message and not just a rash rant about Rashi on the portion.
How does the rabbi himself conduct himself at the Shulchan Shabbat? A Torah talk? A philosophical topic for discussion? I simply cannot bring to the Shulchan Shabbat any elegant Torah talk that I can (and want to) stand behind. Usually, the D’T are either true and not beautiful (banal) or beautiful and not true, and often neither beautiful nor true.
2) In the trilogy, does the rabbi explain the essence of the Torah in our generation in a way that makes it more pleasant to keep? It is difficult to keep the mitzvot with the rational thought that they were once relevant to advancing the world and today they are no longer, or that we have no idea and that all the mitzvot, from our perspective, are like a king’s decree.
3) And of course, how can I do this without bothering you a bit: is there already a rough estimate of when you will release the new books?
- I don’t know of anything that I personally like. We deal with any topic that comes up, and not necessarily Torah in the conventional sense, and certainly not around the weekly Torah portion.
- Not really. But I didn’t say that they were only relevant once. Absolutely not. They are as relevant today as they were then. The fact that they don’t understand is not a problem for us today.
- not.
Nadav Shnerb's "At the Corner of the Eye" is an excellent book.
