4:00 What the Messiah will do and how he will do it
7:15 Why do we study Torah these days if we don't truly have the Torah in exile?
8:30 What is the Torah about?
11:00 Why the Torah doesn't work outside of Eretz Yisrael
13:15 The most burning question is: "What is the Torah about?," i.e. "What is da'as Hashem?"
18:00 How can the Torah assert that man is in the image of God if people kill each other?
20:00 Are there fundamentally unbridgeable differences between human beings?
22:45 The Torah doesn't reveal truths as much as it gives a vision of what can be
24:45 Torah as a radical document suggesting what can be
26:45 In order to understand the Torah, we have to view it within a historical lens as well 28:45 We can't tell people they don't have Torah
31:45 Not everyone could be Rabbi Yehudah HaLevi who lived in the past and the future
36:00 Why there developed a concept of the Redemption as something that will happen to us miraculously
40:30 In the past, there was no way to talk about Redemption without using miraculous terminology
43:00 Why people believe in being passive; the great danger of hastening the End before its time45:15 Whether the world is ready for something depends on whether we are ready for it
47:00 Those who have no understanding of Redemption should indeed do nothing about it
