SHOFTIM: Who Decides What's Good |STUMP THE RABBI (244)

Just like you think you are good, so did Hitler yimach shemo. What makes your definition of good any better than his? Despite the fact that more people agree with him, they also believe in the same type of good as you. Parashat Shoftim helps us get to the definition of good, and who is the One who can define it and why. In this thought provoking lecture, Rabbi Reuven breaks down the flawed logic of evil that believes it is good, and helps us understand why there can only be a single definition of good rather than personalized. This is followed by critical questions and amazing answers and analogies to the live audience around the world. Learn, Enjoy, Share and Be Holy.
