Gemara:

Aggadeta,  Berachot 

Collections: Rabbi Berzon: Berachot 2015

Description

The sugya sees a significance to a Hebrew name, the name of Reuvain given by Leah, even the name Ruth given to a woman who would convert down the line. We will study the insights of HaRav kook and others to this concept of a name. In the latter part of this shiur we will learn about the rebellion of Avshalom against his father. What moral lesson should we learn from Dovid's response in this difficult episode?
