QUESTION:
What unique about the path of “Brisk” in avodas Hashem? The Rav gave a response [7440] on this that the Brisker path emphasizes “total, absolute subservience to doing the will of Hashem”, but I don’t understand, doesn’t every way of avodas Hashem involve total subservience to Hashem? Is it only Brisk that is totally subordinate to the ratzon Hashem??
ANSWER:
The Brisker path in avodas Hashem is to have total subservience to doing the will of Hashem specifically through keeping to the exact, defining parameters of the din (halachah), as opposed to an abstract emotional desire to do Hashem’s will regardless of what the din is.
