Information and knowledge stream everywhere. In a world overflowing with ideas and content, what makes Torah different?
In this week's message on the Parsha of Va'etchanan, Chief Rabbi Dr. Warren Goldstein explores what sets Torah apart in the knowledge economy. While the world now prizes information and insight, Judaism has always placed Torah learning at the top. Yet the real distinction isn't just in how much we value learning, but in the qualitatively different kind of knowledge that Torah offers.
Torah is not human wisdom. It's Divine. It doesn't just inform. It transforms.
From the mitzvah of Talmud Torah, to the values of Pirkei Avot, to the transformative nature of Halacha, this teaching explores how Torah reshapes our actions, character, and worldview.
Key themes:
What makes Torah fundamentally different from all other knowledge
Why Torah study transforms the learner
The Midrash on wisdom vs. Torah among the nations
Halacha as action-oriented transformation
How Torah becomes the story of our lives
