Reply To: Clarification to mod and DaMoshe

Avira,

“ If someone finds any part of hashkofa “dry,” it’s not because of actual chasidishe Torah. It’s because they’ve had sensory overload, like children who find books boring if they watch movies. So if they hear fanciful ideas which don’t really make them feel a need to, say, cover up, and then they learn basic hashkofa about prishus min haarayos, they might find it “dry.”

That’s just another reason not to learn kabalah until you’re ready for it. Even chasidim who say that regular jews can learn it through chasidus are referring to average Jews, like those of us here, who have a basic education. Not someone who has no idea how to read.”

You clearly have no idea what I’m talking about. The fire of Chassidus, The more one imbibes it, uplifts the observance of Halacha as well. If you go a good Chassidishe farbrengen you’ll see what I mean. Or if you open up a sefer of Chabad Chassidus. Every Halacha is not only what to do, but a lesson on how to live life. And every Halacha- understanding that it is Hashem’s Wisdom- gives a motivation to keep learning and keeping to the highest extent.
