Q&A #25: Rechilus, Benefits of YBT, Work/Life, Benefits of Jewish Community, Justifying Religiosity

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 48 minutesSynopsis: This morning (4/28/23), in our Friday Q&A, we took up five questions: (1) In cases where you are pemitted to speak rechilus or lashon ha'ra, how can one minimize the harm to oneself? (2) What are the benefits of YBT? (3) How should one balance one's choice of work/income with learning? (4) What are the benefits of living in a Jewish community? (5) How can one tactfully justify one's own religiosity without inadvertently insulting those who are not religious?-----Other Resources:https://www.yeshivabneitorah.org/methodologyמקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, דעות ו:א; ז:א-ברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ה:יא -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by my dad in loving memory of our friend, Alan Woog (a"h), who took his final breath on April 18th, just a little shy of his 99th birthday. It has been a privilege to learn with him and from him over the course of these past ten years, and although we will all miss him, we are grateful that he is no longer in pain.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
