About

In the Haftorah it discusses one of the greatest open miracles that was witnessed by all. It was the time of Eliyahu and the majority of the Jews, including the king were pagan worshippers. In order to redirect the Jews back to G-D and the truth, Eliyahu proposed a contest. On one side he would set up an alter and on the other side the priests of the pagan worshippers would set up their Alter. Each would request that their deity light the fire on their Alter. To the amazement of all, just as Eliyahu requested that G-D intercede, a fire descended from above. All saw that the truth lies only with Eliyahu and the Torah that he represented. During his great speech / admonishment, he focused on those that wavered back and forth from sometimes believing in G-D to sometimes being pagan worshippers. Eliyahu put his greatest effort in this group even more than those that only believed in pagan idols. In this Shiur we will discuss the great damage that is incurred by those that sway back and forth from the truth, a damage that is even greater than the one done by only serving idols. A very important message on the damage of insincerity. From Likkutei Sichos Vol.1 Parshat Ki Tisa
