In this series we explore the deepest sources about what it means for Hashem to love, want, and even what it means that He has a hand. In this episode, we start to explain what it means that the Torah’s descriptions are all just “metaphors” by going into what a “metaphor” really is. We will learn that we understood things backwards – it was never meant to imply that Hashem’s actions and attributes are metaphors, but ours are a metaphor for His! Thus we will learn what “k’vyachol” i.e. “so to speak” really means. by https://www.youtube.com/@RabbiYehoshuaSimons Full lecture in essay form, with all sources: https://bit.ly/HashemHandRSimons (leads to google drive link) Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:29 Rambam's Framework Essence & Actions 01:52 Tzemach Tzedek on “Simple Meaning” 02:57 Mashal & Nimshal Explained 04:34 Parable of the Greedy Fox 06:37 The World as Divine Parable 07:53 Ineffability & Theomorphic Humanity 07:22 Closing Follow us: https://www.youtube.com/@Hidabrootcom https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCYZjl1CYoa4ulQIK2q #TorahPhilosophy #JewishThought #Rambam #Emunah #TorahLearning #JewishTheology #Hashem
