HEVRUTA GUIDE: The Holy and the Ethical
March 19th Session with Moshe Halbertal
1. Read Leviticus 19:2 (not included in the materials. Have bi-lingual Bibles avaialable) and the surrounding verses. What is the context? What does it mean to be holy according to the Biblical verse?
2. Read Deuteronomy 6:18. What is that which is "right and good" according to the Biblical context?
3. Read the Ramban on Leviticus 19:2. How does he understand holiness?
How has he expanded the interpretation of the verse?
4. Read the Ramban on Deuteronomy 6:18. How, according the Ramban, should one interpret the Biblical verse? What idea of the ethical emerges from his interpretation?
Enjoy your learning
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Dov Gartenberg
