This was such a great conversation!
NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️ This week, I sat down with Yaffa Moskowitz, the Director of Education at Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya, a seminary in Jerusalem and it became the perfect episode to listen to mid-Elul! I met Yaffa when I was a student exactly seven years ago at Midreshet Rachel and have continued to learn from her and with her since. She has such a wealth of knowledge and this conversation really turned into the perfect thing to listen to right in the middle of Elul preparing for the chagim. During this time at Midreshet Rachel, the students learn from the sefer, Tomer Devorah, which teaches us about Hashem’s 13 Attributes of Mercy. As we learn about Hashem and understand who He is more, so to speak, we learn how we can emulate Him more in our own lives, and we used that text as the jumping off point for our conversation. As we spoke, we explored: ✨ What a “sin” actually is in Judaism (it may not be what you think) and how we can always get back on track ✨ How to separate ourselves from the sin and retain our confidence and closeness to G-d through the process ✨ How we can get to the core of what emunah really is on the most basic level and use these foundational concepts to connect to Hashem more deeply ✨ The restraint Hashem has with us every day and how we can apply that concept to our own lives and actions ✨ How to work on letting go of control ✨ Why we should speak to ourselves with more compassion from a Torah perspective ✨ When fear is appropriate in Judaism and what kind of fear that actually is talking about ✨ How we can continue to grow and elevate ourselves year after year …and SO MUCH MORE!
