Why are Religious Jews So Meticulous about Jewish Law? - Rabbi Akiva Fox

a student of mine came a few days ago and wanted to discuss a bitter breakup that he had with the girl he thought he was gonna marry he said rabbi I can't get her image out of my mind I see her everywhere every time the phone ring I thinks is her every time I pass somewhere that we went together I see her physically but she's not there when you love somebody you see them everywhere you're constantly thinking of them you have a million things reminding you of how close you are to them halakha is the same thing following the rules and laws of uh Shem the Taira says Halle flex alum lay all the pathways in the world lead us - em I'll take really flies don't call them pathways la ilaha rather rules and laws from a chef when we eat when we drink when we sleep when we talk everything has a specific ilaha a specific designated way that we're supposed to do it so it keeps us constantly in the presence of Hashem aware as a reminder that a Shem is with us in everything that we do [Music]
