Rabbi Yaakov Rahimi shares a powerful insight from the story of the Meraglim (spies) who saw themselves as grasshoppers—and were seen that way by others. This episode explores how the way you view yourself shapes how the world sees you. Drawing from the words of the Maharsha, Rabbi Rahimi explains how the Yetzer Hara gains strength when you doubt your own. Confidence, he says, isn’t about being better than others—it’s about knowing your value and trusting that Hashem gives you the strength to overcome any challenge.Website: BacktoSinai.com and TorahAnytime.comInstagram: @backtosinaiTikTok: @backtosinai Hosted on Acast.
