Sichos HaRan 116 – Follow the Words of HaShem – Speaker: Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Rosenfeld zal. (Lesson rw26clip-4. Recorded in 1977.)

• 00:53 SICHAH 116. “…logic dictates there must be rules by which people can live in a civilized manner…” However, mitzvos are not based on human logic. Mitzvos are different from ethics.
• 01:15 דֶּרֶךְ־מִצְוֺתֶיךָ אָרוּץ כִּי תַרְחִיב לִבִּי – “[In] the way of Your commandments I shall run…” (Tehillim 119:32) – Roshei teivos “Adam”.
• 03:54 Keeping the mitzvos of kashrus is not a matter of taste.
• 08:50 The reason Am Yisrael does not kill is because HaShem commands us not to.
• 09:14 Through Shmuel HaNavi, HaShem commanded Shaul HaMelech to wipe out the tribe of Amalek, including Agag, King of Amalek (1 Shmuel 15). For more on this: R’ Rosenfeld zal on 1 Shmuel.
• 14:39 The power of saying the Shema. Closing blessings.
