Why Judaism Says the Body Matters More Than the Soul

In today’s digital age, millions describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” They feel close to God but see no need for Jewish practice. This class answers that challenge head-on — and the answer will astonish you. Drawing on Talmud, Ibn Ezra, Maimonides, and personal stories from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Greenberg completes his four-part journey through the Ten Commandments (Statements 7–10), revealing a unified philosophy about loyalty, identity, property, and the nature of human jealousy. Whether you’ve studied Torah for decades or you’re exploring Judaism for the first time, this class will reframe the way you see yourself, your relationships, your money, and your place in creation. These are not ancient rules — these are blueprints for a fully realized human life.
