Follow us: https://www.hidabroot.com https://www.youtube.com/@Hidabrootcom https://www.instagram.com/hidabroot_global https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCYZjl1CYoa4ulQIK2q Episode 1 out 10 of the “Are We The Metaphor?” series. In this series we explore the deepest sources about what it means for Hashem to love, want, and even what it means that He has a hand. In this episode, we introduce the series, and explain why the series is necessary – unfortunately, we have overphilosophised the theology of God in order to avoid being heretics, to, as Rav Hirsch explains, our great loss – we no longer feel close to Hashem. We introduce many sources who speak out against this and set the stage for explaining what it all really means, in the rest of the series – it’s better than you can imagine! by https://www.youtube.com/@RabbiYehoshuaSimons Chapters Full lecture in essay form, with all sources: https://bit.ly/HashemHandRSimons (leads to google drive link) Chapters: – Introduction – Theological Challenge: How Can a Perfect G-d Love? – Rav Hirsch’s Warning: Don't Erase Hashem's Personhood – Misconceptions Today: When We Undermine What Torah Says – Closing Music: Composed by Ben Revens #Torah #Judaism #Mitzvot #Theology #Spirituality #God #Hashem #Kabbalah #JewishWisdom #Mitzvot #JewishFaith #JewishPhilosophy #Spirituality #JewishLearning #JewishMysticism For more inspiring content: @Hidabrootcom
