    Carter’s Israeli Admirers + Midrash and Mesora

    In this episode we look at Carter’s Israeli admirers and what was motivating them to admire him. Why were they so deeply moved by this quixotic figure?   We go back to the issue of Midrashim and Mesora and flesh out the issues more. When can we say there is an absolute Mesora about an issue? We also look at the issue of did Ashkenazi Rishonim learn Midrashim that seem to humanize G-d literally? Is this fundamental of Judaism an invention of the Rambam?   Nach Yomi: Join R' Wittenstein’s Nach Yomi on WhatsApp. We learn a perek a day five days a week, with a nine minute shiur covering the key issues.

    Rationalism, Pshat, & Mesorah

    Balancing Midrash with Pshat

    In this episode we look at the historically controversial issue of balancing the Midrashim with the basic meaning of the text. The first factor we need to understand is what is the importance of basic pshat, and why did Rashi put so much work into it.  We similarly examine what lesson we should learn from Israeli advances in Syria.
