Nitzavim - The Torah and Existentialism - Episode 46

The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times by Steven Toby Weinberg

Episode notes

Our culture has romanticized and trivialized the idea of "faith." Just have faith, man! You've got to have faith! It all comes down to faith. Yet, some people are able to take the famous "leap of faith" whereas others are not. Dostoevsky could take this existentialist leap of faith, whereas Kafka's Josef K. could never "let go" into the void. The Torah's words on choosing to follow the mitzvot may provide the answer.
