For the Love of God - פרשת עקב - לְאַהֲבָה אֶת יְהֹוָה

In this shiur, we examine the multifaceted religious obligation to love God, exploring whether it is a literal emotional command or a metaphorical call to action. Traditional commentators debate whether this love is achieved through intellectual contemplation of the divine or through the joyous observance of commandments and personal sacrifice. Ultimately, the texts present love of the Divine as a holistic dedication that encompasses one's thoughts, resources, and very life.
