About this episode

Nitzavim - Vayelekh | "Sos Asis" - I Greatly Rejoice in God by Rav Eli Weber The last and sweetest of the seven haftarot of consolation — can love and awe of God actually be the same feeling? Yeshayahu 61:10 - 63:9 Exploring the haftara "Sos Asis," the final and most comforting of the seven haftarot of consolation, the shiur centers on the marriage metaphor for our relationship with God — a bridegroom rejoicing over his bride. Using the Rambam's framework of love and awe, Rav Eli shows how true religious feeling combines longing for closeness with humbled reverence, illustrated through the Akeida and a personal analogy to marriage.
