Q&A – Physicality, Purpose & End of the Amidah (Rabbi Dovid Gottleib) (Jewish Philosophy)

Rabbi Dovid Gottleib – Answers various questions from Ohr Sameach students about Jewish Philosophy. One question in particular around the 14:00 minute mark of the video, focuses on what Rabbi Dessler says that there are the goals that we are meant to achieve in this World and separately but obviously related are the means in which we are given to achieve those goals. Prayer can only be effective in the former and not the later – if we to divert ourselves for our primary goal/mission in life it won’t work but if we pray to be given the means to achieve the primary goal than those prayers are more likely to be answered.

What is Karet (excision of the soul)? Including the machloket (disagreement) about what it actually means. (time stamp 31:55)
