Description

Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai charged his students "Go and investigate what is the straight path people should cleave to..." - Where are they leaving? Where are they going? Straight path to where? Can't we look internally for the answer? We highlight the tension with whether we look outside the Torah for ethical guidelines and the benefits of an empirical mindset.
