Temimut: Then, Now, & Always (Preparing For Shavuot #11)

Before you can receive the Torah, you have to return to something deeper than brilliance. You have to return to temimut—wholeness, sincerity, simple truth.

Rav Shlomo Katz brings down a beautiful teaching from the tzaddik of Yerushalayim, Reb Yaakov Meir Shechter. We learn how the Torah wasn’t, and isn’t given to the clever or the perfect, but to those who show up with open hearts and honest intentions.
