Morality and Torah Conflict
Hello Rabbi Michi
I read in your book on Halacha (trilogy) that you have such a concept of a conflict between the religious command and the moral command. My question is, what is the definition of morality? I understand simply that the definition is to do what you would want others to do for you, but if you are a religious person who believes that God commanded you to do certain things, for that matter, not to save a Gentile and let him die (not in our time, of course). So if you truly and sincerely believe that God commanded you to do this, then it is the right thing to do. And if you were a Gentile, you would also want them to act towards you in this way. If so, a person who is religious does not have morality. He only has religion, that is, what God commands him (apparently only a secular person truly has universal morality). You could say that it is also morality because you do the right thing, that is, what God commands you, but it is not morality in the simple sense of the word. I would appreciate an explanation and clarification in terms. Thank you.
