V'Eschanan 5786 - Logic Even Bias Couldn't Beat

This week we reread the Aseres HaDibros, and tucked inside a well-known Gemara is a strange historical detail: an entire world almost rejected the Ten Commandments outright, only to reverse course because of one surprisingly ordinary line. What was it about this particular obligation that succeeded where the others failed — and what does that reversal expose about how bias can quietly convince us of things that simply aren't true? This week, we trace the logic that changed an ancient world's mind, and what it teaches us about building our own emunah today. This is a public episode.
