ARE YOU A GOOD PERSON? - Jewish Hashkafa (131)

Rabbi Yaron Reuven 2,001 views

Everyone says they are a good person, and most believe it too. The Chazon Ish's Jewish Hashkafa series has taught us about many things, including prophecy, and how being good is a prerequisite. Can this mean that everyone is good, or perhaps that this good is needed by the Creator? With the help of our Masters the RAMBAM, The Chinuch, the Chazon Ish clarifies it all by using the one mitzvah that Jews and Gentiles are obligated to follow--Don't eat an animal while its still alive. Confused? BeEzrat HaShem you won't be by the end of the shiur. Enjoy, Share, Learn and Be Holy.
