Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon

The central liturgical text in Judaism the “Shema” Deut 6….contains the command to “love Hashem with all your heart(s)”

We explore the dual chambered heart and the Mishnaic exegesis of the good and evil desire brought into service of love.

The Rambam seems to contradict himself as to the means to achieve this love and the Sifre (midrashic) doubts about loving something intangible.

We try to resolve the difference between intellectual versus passionate love,  with the hassidic masters.
