The Beyond Meaningful Relationships – Relationshipful Meaning series at the kloiz meets on Wednesday nights at 8^pm EDT.

On Wednesday Chol haMo’eid Sukkos (October 12^th) at 8^pm, started our discussion of the introduction to Shaarei Yosher, by Rav Shimon Shkop. This is the last text in the Beyond Meaningful Relationship – Relationshipful Meaning chaburah.

Highlishts:

• The purpose of life is to be of benefit to others
• and to be the kind of people whose greatest desire is to provide that benefit
• and this is how we emulate Hashem and partner with Him.
• This is also what “be holy for I am Holy means”.
• The Medrash and Ramban identify the mitzvah as “be holy – be separate”, but this is not the definition of holiness. Holiness is consecration to a cause. For people — unlike for Hashem — such consecration entails separation from those other goals that we might set up for ourselves and distract us.
