Show Notes

The Mishna states that that the way of the Torah is to live a life of deprivation. To eat bread and water. To sleep on the ground. How does this Mishna fit with our understanding that Judaism embraces the physical. Are we not supposed to use physical to enhance our spiritual lives? In this episode Rabbi Kohn answers this question with two ideas on how we should balance materialism with our Torah lives. Subscribe to The Pirkei Avos Podcast. Living with Torah ethics.
