What I Learned About Jewish Identity and Survival from an Elder of the Crow Tribe and Rav Hirsch

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!The first shiur of this year's "Machshavah Lab" series for women was a unique one, in which I attempted to convey the biggest insight from my philosophical-anthropological journey to the Crow Reservation in Montana in August 2022. The crux of this insight derived from two sources: (1) my conversation with a Crow Elder, and (2) a commentary from Rav Hirsch, supplemented by ideas from the Sefer ha'Chinuch and R' Yochai Makbili. Although today's shiur deviates from my usual style (i.e. collaborative analysis of a text), I hope you find that this idea enhances your appreciation of Torah, as it did mine.----------מקורות:רש"ר הירש - ויקרא יט:כזדברים יב:א-המכות פרק ג משנה טזספר החינוך מצוה טזDr. Dayan I.
