Description

This shiur discusses the Torah perspective on ideal leadership. On one hand, leaders are chosen by the nation. Yet, the nation also has to be prepared to learn from the leader. There is a balance between giving the people the flexibility that they need without letting society run wild and free. The shiur describes Avraham Avinu and Mashiach ben David as ideal leaders.
