Oh if only modern orthodox and chassidic rabbis were also theologians. This was such a moving and insightful discussion surrounding a seminal book in the Jewish world, especially.
I’m not a philosopher so I can’t use philosophical discourse of any kind with certainty. However. When you are commanded to “Love God with all your heart…” how can even a disposition be commanded? Doesn’t “disposition” rely upon choice? And if it does, what if I choose not to be disposed? Some marriages are merely for convenience or for benefit of a beard if you are gay. In those cases am I disposed to loving my wife.
Incredibly moving . Thank you Rabbi Held
