The Disasters of Technically Not Sinning
And a big problem: The peasants are tired of being maimed and killed for nothing
In this week's Torah class we examined the unique mitzvah of eishes yefas to'ar, where the Torah seems to surrender to the yetzer hara and permit taking a woman who should really be forbidden. We saw a related Midrash about the devastating effects of King David taking advantage of this exemption, which were far greater than the Midrash fully outlined, and the implications for ever going against friendly suggestions from Hashem, even if technically it isn't a sin.
We also learned an important lesson from the Sefer Habris on child/parent relationships, noted some of the common expectations of adult children from their parents that fly in the face of the Torah, and more.
The class is embedded above and on Rumble here.
A few recent items of interest:

That's the thanks you for get for supporting your oppressors. There is still no vaccine for Stockholm Syndrome.
3. From the Wall Street Journal, of all places: The Israeli Army Is Struggling to Get Reservists to Show Up
As a Gaza City offensive looms and tens of thousands of troops are called up, commanders are finding it harder to get people to report for duty. Israeli troops are exhausted after nearly two years of fighting on several fronts, and more are questioning the purpose of the war.
You mean the purpose might not be to rescue hostages, destroy Hamas, and keep us safe after all?
Could it be that this “war” is all a big scam?
Nah, of course not. That would require more than one person to collaborate on an evil plot, making it a conspiracy, and everyone knows conspiracies aren’t real. Especially very big, very evil, very profitable conspiracies. Someone would have blown the whistle by now, and people would surely believe him, and the media would have reported it with great seriousness, and if the media didn’t then people would really know it’s a conspiracy, and then they would put a stop to it immediately, or at least use their democratic rights and vote the bad people away, and the bad people would be helpless to prevent the people from voting them away.
It might be time for another big distraction. Yemenite missiles? Another war with Iran? Big protests that definitely aren’t being controlled by the regime? Hostage drama? The next pandemic? An alien invasion?
The peasants are becoming a bit too disobedient, a bit too fed up with the enslavement and slaughter process, and it threatens to disrupt the schedule. Something needs to be done.
