Congregation Ohab Zedek

A paradox: We live in webs of relationships, influencing and being influenced for good or ill. Yet, our lives' moral/religious value depends on each of us alone. Webs empower, but they also set limits, and these limits sometimes need to be faced and overcome by the assertion of individual will. How is this possible? Perhaps an ideal or value transcends the web and its power. Reflections based on a talk by Rav Shager
