Rectifying the Zaken Mamre
from Breslov Therapy · host Meir Elkabas
In Parshat Shoftim, the Torah warns about the Zaken Mamre, the sage who rejects the High Sanhedrin in the Holy Temple. This happens when Torah is learned without joy, leaving a person vulnerable to confusion and error. The Torah commands that his execution be during the festivals, when the nation’s collective simcha uplifts and rectifies. The lesson for us is that joy is not secondary but the goal of Torah itself—through simcha we reconnect to our beginnings, return to Hashem, and prepare for Rosh Hashanah with vegilu bir’ada, rejoicing with awe.Help support Breslov Therapy: linktr.ee/breslovtherapyThis class is based on Likutey Moharan lesson 24.
