S1, E30 Man, Center of Reality

from The Great Sources with Rabbi Shnayor Burton · host Rabbi Shnayor Burton

Man searches for absolute truth, a precise system of God’s ways. But is there one definitive solution? What if our opinions themselves affect nature and determine how God acts? It may sound like science fiction, but Chazal state it clearly: God modifies His ways according to human opinion. His connection with man is absolutely imperative, but the specific methods of that connection are flexible. The idea of God’s flexibility redefines the concept of machlokes. Two contradictory notions can both be true; different realities can exist for different people.  Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks for listening!
