The Book of Memories

Beautiful Of Form

Rabbi Shnayor Burton and Mikey Stone

The Torah's laws and ethical directives ostensibly discourage both the valuing of physical beauty, and the occult. Yet both phenomena are prevalent in the Torah, particularly among our beautiful mother Rachel and her kingly descendants, such as Joseph, the dreamer of dreams, and King Saul, who consulted the necromancer of Ein Dor.  Join us this week for a discussion of how these phenomena relate to each other and whether and how there might be a valid place for them.
