The Character Trait of Humility (anavah)

from Self-Control Through Torah · host New Books Network

This week, Modya and David discuss the Torah portion of Ki Tisa (Exodus 30:11-34:35) in light of the character trait of anavah (humility). Their wide-ranging discussion covers such topics as what humility is and isn't; the perils of both arrogance and low self-esteem; the Mishkan, and how it represents the space we must maintain for the Divine; and of course the Golden Calf, which can represent our mistaken belief that we can change the basic nature of the human-divine order. The hosts ponder the human task of finding and claiming one's proper place in the world as an essential aspect of cultivating the humility. Thanks for listening! Modya Silver is an author and psychotherapist based in Toronto. David Gottlieb is a faculty member in the Jewish Studies program at Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago.
