The Tiny Mitzvah That Brings the Geulah

Something as simple as saying, 'I heard this from...' doesn't seem like it could change the world.

Yet Chazal teach that one who quotes a teaching in the name of the person who said it brings redemption to the world.

Why?

In this episode, Charlie Harary sits down with Rabbi Moshe Levi to uncover one of the most overlooked ideas in Torah. Together they explore why the Gemara is so meticulous about preserving names, how Torah is passed through an unbroken chain from Moshe Rabbeinu, and why humility is the key that allows the light of Torah to flow into the world.

They discuss:

Why the Gemara constantly records who said every teaching.

How quoting someone by name strengthens the chain of Mesorah.

What Chazal mean when they say a person's lips continue moving in the grave.

Why giving credit is about far more than good manners.

How this simple practice brings more Shechinah into the world.

What Moshe Rabbeinu teaches us about humility and receiving Torah.

How to know whether the Torah you're hearing is truly part of the Mesorah.
