23:1
In this Torah , we embark on an exploration of the remarkable dialogues between the Wise Men of Athens (Sabei dbei Atuna) and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chanania. This intellectual confrontation is portrayed through a series of exchanges that may appear simple or even absurd on the surface. However, the commentaries reveal these discussions as a profound debate between Science and Religion, delving into the core tenets of our faith.
Our first shiur provides a general introduction as well as a specific look into Torah 23, beginning with our examination of concepts such as Emunah (faith), Emes (truth), Chaim (life), Simcha (joy), and connection to Hashem. In contrast, we will also discuss themes of Avodah Zarah (idolatry), death, lethargy, and detachment from Hashem, which manifest as placing one's faith in alternative 'sources'.
We will further start to explore the topic of taavas mamon (desire for wealth), particularly within this context.
Some of the Terms we begin to encounter: Panim (d'kedusha), Anpin Nehorin (shining face); Emes, Chaim, Simcha, Emuna; Panim d'sitra achra, Avoda Zara, Missa, Atzvus, adn Taavas Mamon.
