The Existing and the Desirable
Question
Hello to our Rabbi Michi.
I would appreciate it if you could briefly explain why one cannot derive what is desirable from what exists.
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. Why can’t one learn about the properties of the oceans by observing worms? These are two things that have no connection to one another, and therefore one cannot be learned from the other.
