Exploring the Paradox of Change and Acceptance in the Jewish Tradition

0:01 I mean no harm with the following statements. This is merely just one man's honest observation of why it is that Jewish people are very anti-change. It is the old-aged moral law, it is the connecting back to harcenei that we truly crave, and any sort of modification is very wearily accepted. But why is it that there have been times, even the most radical, of changes, that have become accepted? What is it that defines a leader, defines a movement, a new movement to become accepted, in which the G'daylul Mosei this is great.

0:42 Let's try this, let's do Mus'er, let's do the Ashiba movement, let's do the writing down of Taira, shaba Al-Pah, let's do the Chassidus. Whatever it is and why some others fallen by the wayside, perhaps even shunned and banned. Well, maybe it is this ultimate clickbait. Pussuk Seyferdvarim Parshas Akev, chapter 10, verse 12,. If you like clickbait, if you fall for it often, this is the ultimate clickbait, for it is the greatest prophet to ever live asking the Jewish people Moh Hashem el-ikecha shoyel meimach, what is it that the Almighty truthfully asks from you? They're all the 613 mitzvos, all of the different pussuk in the Taira.

1:25 What is it that Hashem wants? Moh Hashem el-ikecha shoyel meimachimli year es Hashem el-okecha to fear. Hashem l'alach becholderach v'de. Go in his ways, ula'ava, and to love him, l'valav, and to serve him with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with altruism, with honesty, with authenticity, and to protect and to see to it that the mitzvos and the ordinances of the Creator of the world are kept and are fulfilled. That's it Simply like go and pick up some eggs from the store, right? Pretty easy. Perhaps this is the pussuk. Perhaps this is the idea that the G'daylum saw that if a person should come and want to do something so radical as write down the Taira, shaba al-peh, the Taira that was left only to be given over by word of mouth, rabbein of Akhadas wrote it down.

2:10 But when somebody is so obsessed and consumed with the idea of spreading the fear of Hashem and the furthering of the education of the Taira and of the mitzvos, well, perhaps it seems to be accepted. Others have tried to do other new radical changes and we have thrown them away. But when the Rambein codified all of the laws and even exposed some of the secrets of the world, doesn't it make sense that the Rambein was someone who was so perfectly portraying Kim Leiris, hashem al-Okecha, only seeking to further the fear of Hashem and the stark adherence to his mitzvos would burn if we were in the same world, the same room as Maimonides. And when someone like Rabbein Salonter should come and say you know, maybe there's something that's not being studied enough.

2:54 We really gotta get Cholos al-Avavos and Masilas Yasharm into the curriculum. We really need to start to learn about ourselves. The musur movement People said what we should close the Gemoros. Stop learning Mishnah and Gemoros for the sake of something like this. This is new, this is radical, but when you learn about Rabbe Yisrael and how we was a full personification of the Atoy Yisrael, Ma'ashem al-Akecha, shoyom Ma'imach, it makes a lot of sense that that is what Chazal looked to, for something to be accepted in Chal Yisrael. When you think about how Chassidus it saved Chal Yisrael literally we were just falling apart because it was too hard, we were so poor, we were so downtrodden and Lithuanian and Europe, and all of a sudden Chassidus came about, the Halege Baal Shemte, with Simcha and with totally obsessed with Chal Yisrael, reconnecting with their creator of the world.

3:48 For perhaps, if a movement should further develop and create pathways for Jewish people to master their fear of Hashem, their love of Hashem and the fulfillment of the mitzvos, while serving Hashem with honesty and authenticity. Well, maybe that is the bar is what Chazal looked to, if a new movement, even as radical as something, maybe maybe that's why something is accepted Ki Imliyiras Hashem al-Akecha. This POSC is what we should look to in everything that we do in our lives.
