It's Not Simple To Be A Simple Jew - Jewish HaShkafa (84)

The Chazon Ish takes us onto the next exit of our Jewish Ideology Tour to help us understand what really makes a Jew Jewish and what doesn't. If one thinks that they will get eternal bliss in Heaven for simply being born into the right family, or has to excuse to avoid eternal suffering in Gehinom because of where they came from, This series is for them.

Without leaving anything to the imagination, the holy Chazon Ish teaches us how we are supposed to think and what it takes to get to where we want to be while avoiding where we don't want to be.
