The Bible's Curious Exemptions For Serving In The Military
In this week’s Torah portion we learn about four types of people who are exempt from going to battle. What makes these people so unique? Why is their individual safety more important than the communal need? How can we as a nation reconcile individuality and community?
Rabbi Fohrman dives deeper into the question of what gives our life meaning in his audio course "The Meaning of Life."
