Chazal's Method of Vanquishing the Yetzer ha'Ra (Lomdeha)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!In today's Lomdeha Seminar shiur (10/30/20) we took up the midrash in Berachos 5a about how to vanquish the yetzer ha'ra: "le'olam yargiz adam yetzer tov al yetzer ha'ra etc." We learned through the commentaries of R' Avraham ben ha'Rambam and the Meiri, then attempted to come up with our own cohesive understanding making use of both approaches. We may or may not have succeeded, but after all, the title of this Lomdeha Seminar series is "Machshavah Lab," and what is the purpose of a lab if not for experiments?----------מקורות:תלמוד בבלי ברכות דף ה עמוד ארש"י - ברכות דף ה עמוד בתהלים פרק דמפרשים על תהלים ד:ה - רש"י, רד"ק, אבן עזרא, מצודת ציון, מלבי"םרבינו אברהם בן הרמב"ם - מאמר על דרשות חז"למאירי - בית הבחירה ברכות דף ה עמוד ארמב"ם - הקדמה למשנה----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
