Embracing Inconvenience

from Rabbi Trump · host Timeless Torah in the 21st Century

Why does the Torah sometimes demand the harder path when an easier one would achieve the same result? Drawing on the Meshech Chochma's insight into Sukkah, Rivkah's kindness at the well, the principle of mitzvah bo yoter mibshlucho, and Tim Wu's essay "The Tyranny of Convenience," this shiur explores when Judaism asks us to resist the pull of ease. In a world where convenience decides everything, discover how embracing friction builds character, deepens relationships, and shapes who we become.
