Post-Kiddush Shiur
“Halakha is the Solution; Halakha Is the Problem: A 2500-year Journey of Spiritual Evolution”
Ezra and the Knesset Ha-Gedolah he headed created a huge revolution in Jewish Law at a critical historical juncture. Why was Halakha the solution for its time? How is Halakha faring today? Using Rav Kook's interpretation (חכם עדיף מנביא) we shall analyse the strengths and weaknesses of Halakha as a tool for Jewish spirituality and continuity, and begin to understand 2500 years of Halakhic evolution.
