Q&A #02 - God's Blessings, How to Emulate Him, What Makes a Good Question, and What is Hishtadlus?

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This morning (9/16/22), in our Friday Q&A, we covered four topics: (1) Are the blessings described in Ki Savo (and elsewhere) natural, hashgachic, or both? (2) If God has no emotions, and we are commanded to emulate His actions, should our actions also be emotionless? (3) What makes a question a superior or inferior question? and (4) What's the deal with the popular notion of "hishtadlus"? ----------מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות א:ה-ו; ג:אספורנו - ויקרא יט:ב; בראשית א:כו-כזרלב"ג - שמות פרק ב, התועלת הראשון----------The Torah content for the first two weeks of yeshiva has been sponsored anonymously.
