Reward, Retribution and Consequences: The Talmud on the World to Come, Lesson 16
Compassionate, inspired leadership is a kindred platform in the world-to-come. Here, we are introduced to the remarkable phenomenon of “character framing by divine design” – as it appears in scriptural sequence. The highly uncommon occurrence sheds light on what's really important: Attitude, and our Holy Temple! This thesis is challenged with a verse about vengeance. A deeply insightful discussion about reward, retribution and the concept of consequences resolves the challenge and provides overarching clarity. (Tractate Sanhedrin 92a)
