Dr. Tanya White at Uri L’Tzedek on “‘Yirat Elokim’ – Fearing God as the Development of a Moral Conscience”
This shiur explored the idea of ‘yirat elokim’ as the development of moral conscience. Using the Akeida narrative as a framing paradigm it journeys through an exploration of the concept of yirat elokim in Torah including Yosef, the Hebrew midwives and Amalek (as the anti-paradigm). Integrating psychological, philosophical and traditional commentary our analysis will question the premise of Divine authority as a premise for ethical behavior and show how a deeper understanding of biblical narratives can help us navigate a path towards understanding some difficult religious and ethical dilemmas.
