Understanding Free Will


In this engaging shiur, Rav Kalatsky begins with an intriguing question about the korbanos brought by the Leviim and journeys into one of Judaism's most fundamental ideas: free will. Drawing connections between the Golden Calf, the unique status of the Leviim, and the nature of human choice, he explains why Hashem allows people the ability to act against His will and how that very freedom gives significance to every mitzvah, every act of self-control, and every spiritual achievement.
