Description

Finishing the fourth perek, Shlomo HaMelech hints to how external cues (including mitzvos) cultivate internal values and beliefs. We discussed the benefits of associating visuals to information or future responsibilities to ensure success. We explained through Rabbeinu Yonah about the importance of putting effort into the pursuit of Torah and mitzvos. We took the opportunity to understand the difference and consequences of living with a fixed-mindset vs. a growth-mindset. We noted how Shlomo HaMelech shifted to discuss how a person’s heart, internally, becomes the headquarters of everything we do externally.
