Have you ever wondered why Moshe Rabbenu had to race down that holy mountain called Har Sinai? Or what the Jewish people's 'stiff-necked' nature truly means? Strap in for a fascinating exploration of the Golden Calf and the symbolic significance of the human neck in Jewish tradition. We dissect a classic Jewish joke and dive deep into stubbornness as a defining feature of the Jewish identity, delving into the role it played in the survival of the Jewish people, according to the teachings of Ramban.
Stick with us as we examine the power of stubbornness in the face of danger and the instances throughout history where Jewish people have remained unwavering, from Mordechai's refusal to bow down to Haman and the Chazon Ish's obstinance in the face of the dynamic attempts to resist the draft of Jewish girls into the army by Ben Gurion. We'll also explore the fine line between stubbornness and openness, discussing the importance of recognizing when to stand firm in our beliefs and open our hearts and minds to new perspectives.
