David and Modya welcome Dr. Robert Barris to this episode. Robert is a NY-based psychiatrist, a deep thinker and a long-time student of Mussar who has been influenced by and learned from his father-in-law, a Mussar scholar from the Mir Yeshiva in Shanghai. This episode brings to a close the Torah cycle and allows the exploration of spiritual separation (perishut) as Moses leaves the world and the Torah ends its cycle. We learn that through separation we can find the path to holiness. May we all find joy along that path.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
