Length: 55 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/31/24), in the SECOND of our Friday morning Machshavah Lab shiurim for women, we learned Rav Hirsch's elucidation of Chazal's outline of the eight regressive stages of abandoning Torah. I initially planned to give a third shiur this morning on a strange midrash on the phrase "I shall cast your corpses onto the corpses of your idols" (Vayikra 26:30), but we discovered that the midrash was connected to the pesukim Rav Hirsch set out to explain. Everything ended up fitting together quite nicely, even though the subject matter wasn't exactly positive.

The Torah content this week has been dedicated by me in honor of Ann with gratitude for her monthly support of my Torah content and in celebration of her engagement to Ben. Mazal tov!

In other news, I am considering relaunching my Rambam Bekius podcast. My goal is to cover the entirety of the Rambam’s Hilchos Tefilah, halacha by halacha, in short (5-10 minute) daily episodes. If you are interested in sponsoring my Rambam content specifically, please let me know! I’m eager to make this project a reality, and I’m ready when you are!
