We welcome Benji Ginsberg as a new contributor to this blog. Besides being a good friend and a great writer, readers will see that Benji is also a creative Baal Mussar.
Benji's first post is already up. In its few short paragraphs, it provides a new - and timely - understanding of Teshuvah and the mysterious custom of abstaining from pas palter during the Ten Days of Repentance, making use of both the Euclidean vector and the centrality of d'veikus in the Ramchal's weltanschauung.
D'veikus has been addressed on this blog twice before, both times sparking fascinating discussion in the comments. For the possibility of experiencing d'veikus in the here and now, see this post. And for the appropriateness of d'veikus as a motivator in mitzvos bein adam l'chaveiro, see this post.
