Q&A #30: Teshuvah, Tochachah, Svara, Drush, and Halachos Outside of Taryag

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 47 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/2/23), in our Friday morning Q&A, we took up five questions: (1) How should a person relate to teshuvah on aveiros one no longer does? (2) What is the Torah's stance on speaking about a person in an embarrassing way in the context of tochachah, considering how the pesukim openly talk about the faults of individuals? (3) What is svara? (4) What are the parameters of giving "drush" on halachic topics? (5) Is there such a thing as halachos which don't fall under the headings of any of the Taryag mitzvos?Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments! -----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ב:א-ב; ז:גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ו:ז-חיד פשוטה שםדברים כב:חRav Pesach Chait, "On Scientific and Halachic Thought": https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yhre8PzRLCK46saHe1O8S6Y4MXuvzjNy/view?usp=sharingRabbi Matt Schneeweiss, "Three Types of Reasons for Mitzvos": https://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/parashas-chukas-three-types-of-reasons -----This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Isaiah Blanks and Joey & Estee Lichter in honor of Tamar Lichter Blanks receiving her PhD in mathematics.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
