Parshas Vayishlach - The Vulnerability of Life, and Those Who Love Us Through It

Nitzotzos: Thoughts to keep your spark alive

Everything the Torah tells us is to impart cosmic and timeless lessons. It is therefore all the more surprising that the Torah, seemingly out of nowhere, tells us about the death of Devorah, the wet nurse of Rivka. Why do we need to know about this? What is the significance of her being buried beneath a tree and the name of that place? In this shiur, delivered in Stern College, Rav Burg explains how we are all loved into being. The people that love us into being give us the courage to face life's vulnerabilities and show up authentically.
