Lesson Description

The literal story of Ki Tetze deals with the story of how spoils of war are to be divided up amongst people, but the Zohar reveals that Ki Tetze actually is referring to us when our vessel is controlled by the righteous or wicked part within each of us. In preparation for Rosh Hashanah, Eitan explains the power of this week's portion as well as how we can overcome the negativity of Bloodshed, one of the four types of negativity we remove with the shofar blowing on Rosh Hashanah.
