Auto-generated transcript. Not time-synced to the video.

The Torah legislates behavior. It never confuses behavior with identity. There's no identity of the gossiper. There's no identity of a shabas violator. There's no identity of a cheeseburger eater. There's no identity of a person who looks at inappropriate images. None of those prohibitions of the Torah is an identity. Torah has things to say about it. It legislates and regulates. It demands and expects but never confuses it or sees it as an identity.
