Podcast: Nitzotzos: Inspiration to Keep Your Spark Alive with Rav Mordechai Burg
Episode: Parshas Yisro / Tu BiShvat - I Know You Hear Me But Are You Listening?
Description: The parsha of Kabbalas HaTorah begins with the words "Vayishma Yisro." This indicates that the entirety of this parsha is encapsulated in these two words. What is the deeper meaning of listening? Who was Yisro?Â
In this shiur, delivered in Yerushalayim at the first ever Nitzotzos event in Eretz Yisrael, Rav Burg expounds upon how there are two ways of engaging the world. As it is or as it will one day be. Journeying through several machloksim, we discover the distinction between those who hear and those who listen.Â
