Description

This shiur discusses the Halachik requirement to empathize with Klal Yisrael during a time of suffering. The shiur begins by connecting Parshas Mishpatim to this theme, and elaborates on the proper conduct during difficult times. Superbowl Sunday highlights the tension people are experiencing as they try to connect to the tzaros of Klal Yisrael on one hand and go about their normal lives on the other.
