Sefer Bat Ain On Parashat Vayeshev And Stories Of Baali Teshuvah בת עין פרשת וישב by Rabbi Benjamin Lavian
0:00 - How does the Rav understand Philosophy? 3:00 - How convincing do you find the model ontological argument? 6:00 - What's the Rav's opinion on Spinoza's geometrical proof of G-d? 8:00 - How is one supposed to love G-d? 9:00 - How does someone's name define them as a person? 9:30 - What's the relationship between G-d and the Torah? 14:00 - How do we understand the physical based on the 3rd Principle of Faith? 16:00 What's the difference between Rebi, Rav and Rosh Yeshiva? 21:30 - What's implied in the Ratzon of Teshuvah? 24:00 - How will the mesianic times look like? Do we have our own light or are we just reflections of G-d? 29:00 - How do we know we're doing enough teshuvah? 31:30 - Is there a method to approach halachic issues? 34:30 - Why does the Rav define Emuna as “rational trust?” 39:30 - Is there a reason to philosophize about G-d? 43:00 - AT what point does a religion become a cult? 48:00 - Are the philosophic concepts not related to the Torah meaningless? 51:00 - Are Psalms allowed to be said at night?
Some hypotheticals: After his lengthy prison term, Harvey Weinstein joins Temple Emanuel and wants to come to services. He says I now get it. I was wrong. Would you sit next to him? We receive a generous check from Jeffrey Epstein to be used by the Temple in any way we wish, and anonymously, no need to publish his gift. He writes I now get it. I was wrong. Would you accept his gift? After referring his 4.6 million followers to a vile Jew-hating movie that denies the Shoah, and after refusing to apologize for it, and after refusing to state that he has no anti-Semitic beliefs, Kyrie Irving goes on March of the Living. He goes to Auschwitz. He goes to Israel. He comes back and says I now get it. I was wrong. Would you support the Nets reinstating him? Would you now root for him? Is teshuvah always available to right our wrongs? Or do we ever reach a point of no return where teshuvah is not possible? It is a complicated question, and the evidence of the Torah is mixed. The concept of teshuvah is late, late, late, not until Deuteronomy chapter 30. Before then, the basic concept is that sinners pay the price. Adam and Eve are banished along with a host of other punishments. And in the reading tomorrow about Sodom, the categories are tzadik and rashah, translated by JPS as innocent and guilty, also translated as righteous and evil. That is a binary. What about people doing teshuvah and changing their ways? Teshuvah is not on the table in the Sodom story. Why not? There is a famous story in the Talmud where Rabbi Meir was attacked by brigands. He prayed that they would die. His wife Beruria took him to task. Wrong prayer, she said. Better instead to pray that they change their ways and sin no more. The issue comes to a point in the closing line of psalm 104: yitamu chataim min haaretz u'reshaim od einam, which is translated in very different ways by our siddur and our JPS Tanakh. Siddur: “Let sins disappear from the earth and the wicked will be no more.” Tanakh: “May sinners disappear from the earth, and the wicked be no more.” Are Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Kyrie Irving human beings who committed sins; or are they sinners? Do we ever reach a point of no return, and if so, when and what is that point of no return? Are we a healthier religion if we teach that there is a point of no return? Watch it. Live with an active awareness of it.

This Throwback Thursday, I wanted to bring back a powerful episode I released a year ago, with two mothers, Layla and Robi from the Parents Circle, who are working toward peace and reconciliation in Israel and Palestine. Alongside the release of the episode, I set an intention to raise $10,000 and to invite listeners to open their virtual doors to the Parents Circle. During these “Days of Awe” between the Jewish New Year and Day of Atonement, a time of reflection, I'm noticing places where I fell short last year, where I could better in my own life. This time of Teshuvah, or Returning, is a reminder that we can always begin again. So I bring this episode back with a renewed intention to raise awareness and to complete our $10,000 goal, only $2500 more to go. Visit parentscirclefriends.org/mothersquest to learn more, make a contribution and reach out to the Parents Circle to invite mothers like Layla and Robi to your virtual synagogues, mosques, churches, schools and organizations. Wishing you a sweet new year, a mindful turning of the seasons and your own opportunity to return to what matters.
