Real-Talk Torah: The Ugly Talmid Chacham & the Handsome Rasha π€π vs. ππ₯
β’ Does being ugly help one's learning? (I can try my best to explain it...)
β’ Chazal teach that 'Yosef 'is Mechayeiv' (obligates) the Rasha'--but, does he? Wasn't he 'Yosef HaTzaddik,' son of the Tzaddik HaDor? How does HE obligate the Rasha? Because he was handsome? Shouldn't the Gemara then say that 'Yosef obligates the Handsome'?
Join me as we investigate 2 Incredible Gemaros which address the impact of physical appearance on our Torah learning (Ta'anis 7A-B & Yoma 35B).
