Part 2 of 7-part series on the Torah's outlook on money. In Part 2 we look into a perplexing piece from the Mesillas Yesharim (Path of the Just) based on Gemara Chagigah that says ‘A person’s soul desires and yearns for stealing and sexual immorality.’ The Rav relates a frightening personal experience, and unpacks a question once asked to his boss: ‘What drives you to make money?’ In the answer, we discover a scary human reality.
