Why I Didn't Grow-Up to Be a Green Push-Up Pop: R. Marcus Rubenstein

A sermon R. Marcus Rubenstein gave on July 30th 2022 at Temple of Aaron during Saturday morning services on Parshat Mattot-Maasei. In speaking about the Torah's discussion of vows and vowing in our parsha, He discusses why our great historic sages had such angst with the Torah's concept of vows and what that has to say about our own human experience. R. Marcus speaks about the need to regularly cultivate a healthy amount of doubt in one's own assertions and predictions for the future, while also working to not become paralyzed by indecision. We hope you enjoy and find his words meaningful.
