Description

Why are 15 Av and Yom Kippur the greatest holidays, and what blemish do these days correct? A deep connection between the sin of the golden calf and that of the spies. Our rejection of the land: we'd love to have it since it's so wonderful, but it is beyond our means to attain it. The source of every single sin. When an offer sounds too good to be true. Why do we sometimes feel that our spouse / children / Hashem hate us? The result of a loss of faith in man's potential. Trapped by the seduction of the snake - the connection to the original sin. A person must believe in himself and his worth. How to give mussar (rebuke) to a Jew in the sweetest way. Putting an end to the lie of "I just can't..." Every Jew is a "shticekl Elokus" (piece of g-dliness). The essential power of love to remove the entire mountain of lies. Hashem desires our praises rather than that of the angels.
