Children of Hashem and the Lessons of Parashat Re’eh

Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi explains why the Torah sets limits on mourning and what Yaakov’s journey from Be’er Sheva teaches about our impact on the world.

Rashi explains that the presence of a righteous person changes a place, and when they leave, their absence is deeply felt. Rabbi Rahimi expands on this insight, showing how our actions and presence influence our surroundings.
