With Ruchi Koval as our guide through the weekly Torah portion, we’ll find the meaning, courage, and inspiration we need to power our days.
The people who shaped us from the very beginning are often the ones we overlook. How can we adequately express gratitude for those that we take for granted?
A little white lie. A last-minute change of plans. A promise you might not be able to keep.
These things don’t really matter, right? Jewish wisdom says otherwise.
We’ve all done things we’re not proud of – but those mistakes do not need to define us. Ruchi Koval shares how this week’s parsha can help us heal and move forward.
It takes a wise person to say, “I don’t know” – and, as we learn in this week’s Torah potion, it takes an even wiser person to be okay with that answer.
Each of us is yearning for something just out of reach. Should we fight for what we want, or trust that we’ll get it if we wait patiently? This week’s Torah portion may have the answer.
What do your blinders prevent you from seeing? Ruchi Koval digs into a story from this week’s parsha that might help us recognize and overcome our blind spots.
Doubt is not just an emotion – it is a voice, whispering in our ear and distracting us from being our best selves. In this week’s parsha, we learn how to turn down the volume.
Envy is addictive – and it’s on us to break the habit. Ruchi Koval shares a cautionary tale from this week’s Torah portion that may help us rise above that awful feeling.
You can’t be everything to everyone. But sometimes, you can be everything to someone. Ruchi Koval explores a piece of Jewish wisdom that helps us uncover how.
Every choice has consequences. It’s how we handle them that matters. Building a relationship with God means weathering the consequences he might send our way.
Are you a giver or a taker? Throughout our lives, we’ll find ourselves in both positions. No one can survive in this world without ever needing anyone. We all go around the merry-go-round of life, giving and taking in turn. Jewish wisdom can help us handle it with grace.
This week, the Torah teaches us to count the days between Passover and Shavuot – and celebrate each one as a new opportunity for growth. Explore this unique mitzvah with Ruchi Koval.
