Behar - Accepting the Torah With Humility and Pride

Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive

In this shiur, delivered in Sharfmans, Rav Burg explains the paradox of accepting the Torah with both humility and pride. The Torah was given on the smallest mountain which indicates that we must accept the Torah with humility and yet the Torah was also given on a mountain which indicates that their must be an element of pride as well. Rav Burg explains how we are meant to live with this paradoxical tension and how both humility and pride are necessary in building a relationship with Hashem.
