The Neshamah Project: Episode 88 – Returning the Ox, Building the Guardrail
Two Hasidic masters read the portion of Ki Teitzei in strikingly different yet complementary ways. The Maor VaShemesh teaches that “returning a lost ox or sheep” is about guiding a friend back when their awe or love has strayed—while also knowing when silence and patience are the greater acts of care. The Maor Einayim turns the command to build a guardrail on your roof into a teaching about guarding the mind itself, raising thought in silence to the Divine when faced with adversity. Together, these teachings offer modern seekers wisdom on friendship, boundaries, resilience, and cultivating inner guardrails of awareness.
