TMWT Episode 020: The Lonely Man of Faith

Welcome to Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi: Personal Growth, Mental Health, and Interesting Ideas. We're a podcast where we explore ways we can heal from the past, grow in positivity in the future, and find some food for thought along the journey.

In this week' episode, we discuss The Lonely Man of Faith, written by Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik. We explore the dual nature of man, accomplishment and reflection, and find a conceptual framework to understand these to sides of humanity.

Who knows what kind of loneliness is more agonizing: the on which befalls man when he casts his glance at the mute cosmos, at its dark spaces and monotonous drama, or the one that besets man exchanging glances with his fellow man in silence?” – Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik

In this episode of Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi:

  • What is the nature of man in relation to G-d and the cosmos?
  • How can we apply the Adam I & Adam II tautology to our lives?
  • Why did The Bible give us two accounts of the creation of man?
  • Where does Adam II find an end to loneliness?
  • Who continues Adam I's work into the future?
  • When does Adam I and Adam II live?
