After discussing love of God and love of humanity, this way focuses on actively loving goodness, justice, moral straightness, and the pleasure of doing what is right. Rabbi Wolbe explains that the Torah presents a clear binary choice (Deuteronomy 30:15-16): life/good versus death/evil. God urges us to “choose life” by following His commandments, walking in His ways, and finding joy in righteousness. Obligations and mitzvot are not burdens — they are the path to true fulfillment and maximized pleasure. When we commit to goodness, even when it is not our natural inclination, we actualize our potential and experience deeper satisfaction. He encourages reaffirming moral clarity in a confused world: call evil what it is (theft, murder, etc.), model values for children, and obligate yourself to positive actions. Personal stories illustrate forcing oneself to give first (e.g., snacks in yeshiva) to break selfishness and the importance of celebrating small victories in goodness. _____________ Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on June 10, 2022, in Houston, Texas. Released as Podcast on January 24, 2023 The 49 days we count between Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot are an exciting time for powerful and impactful change.
