Asceticism and Abstinence: A Torah View (Naso)
$20.00Price
Is holiness found in stepping away from the world, or in how we live within it? This class explores the Torah’s nuanced and sometimes surprising approach to asceticism and abstinence—where self-restraint is at times praised as a path to sanctity, yet at other moments limited or even discouraged. Through the case of the Nazir, we will examine when discipline elevates a person, when it becomes excessive, and how temporary restraint can serve as a tool for realignment and growth. Ultimately, the class reveals the Torah’s deeper vision: not withdrawal from life, but transforming the physical world itself into a vessel for holiness.
