In this week’s episode of Pastoral Parsha, Dr. Friedman and Hody Nemes explore a question as old as time. Why do humans care so much about how we, and how other people, look? Why don’t we judge others by values alone, rather than by outfit or hairstyle?, and where do we draw the line for caring about our appearance too much?
