The Talmud teaches that when a person provides shelter for someone in need, they become partners with G-d in creating humanity, for a home gives a person their identity. Join Rabbi Greenberg as he discusses how every mitzvah we do gives G-d the ability to fulfill the purpose of creation.

If you hurt someone, you'd think you simply have to pay for their losses - medical bills, lost wages, etc. But the Torah says there's more to it. According to Jewish law, causing harm is a sin that demands atonement between you, the victim, and God. Paying damages ransoms your body from further punishment.In this video, we analyze the ethical reasoning behind these laws. While most assume they're about compensation, the 12th century Rabbi Maimonides (the Rambam) unlocks the mystical side. Since our bodies belong to God, payments act as repentance for the injury you deserve in return. Through debate of Biblical verses and Talmudic stories, the Rambam reveals Judaism's underlying spiritual basis for civil damages.Join us as we explore this ancient teaching on taking responsibility beyond just legal and financial realms. The truths of atonement, forgiveness, and our relationship with the Divine can transform how we approach conflict, justice and relationships.
