Parashat Shoftim (Guest Rabbi Pinchas Allouche)

Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion, known as Parashat Shoftim, which comes from the book of Deuteronomy, that explores themes of justice, morality, and the pursuit of a life that aligns with God's will. Rabbi Allouche shares the importance of seeking justice, not just as a concept, but as a way of living that is guided by God's commandments. He also delves into the idea of removing the ego and biases that can cloud our judgment, and how this can lead to a more harmonious and peaceful life. Rabbi Allouche encourages listeners to take on a small but consistent resolution to live a more virtuous life. He suggests that it's not about grand gestures, but about making small changes every day, such as treating others better, smiling more, or doing a good deed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
