About this episode
Rabbi Shais Taub discusses the teachings of Shmita and the essence of true service to Hashem based on Parshas Behar.
Shmita teaches us that Torah is not about escaping the physical world, but sanctifying it so completely that even our engagement with nature becomes an act of transcendence. Har Sinai shows us that true greatness requires the paradox of standing tall with absolute confidence while remaining completely humble before Hashem. The deepest form of avodah is not serving Hashem for personal growth, reward, or even spiritual refinement—but simply because His will is your will. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Behar in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1. 📄 PDF of Sicha: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/838489c... 📄 PDF of Sicha in English by SIE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eUAn... 📖 Buy Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1 at Kehot: https://store.kehotonline.com/mobile/...
