Elul is a time to look inward, but what if real teshuvah also depends on how we look at everyone around us? In this episode, Rabbi Moshe Levy explores the connection between cheshbon ha-nefesh, Ahavat Hashem, and wanting other Jews to grow. He explains why recognizing our flaws is not a reason to feel discouraged, but one of the most powerful ways to grow. And he challenges us to look honestly at jealousy, kavod, and whether we truly want others to succeed, even beyond ourselves. A powerful conversation about what teshuvah really asks of us and how the work of Elul can bring us closer to Hashem. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
