Are Mitzvot Rational? with Rabbi Dr. Martin Lockshin

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Mitzvot"

If mitzvot have reasons, are those reasons rational? Is the purpose of mitzvot to help us live more rational lives or are they meant to get us to rise to some plane above the rational? We will examine the great divide between the rational and mystical schools of Jewish thinking and see how the issue plays out in Bible commentaries on the laws of the Torah.
