We do a lot of things. We daven, we learn, we do chessed. But instead of just going through the motions, we need to strive to live with emotions. The element of "you" is perhaps the single-most important aspect of living the best life possible. In this week's episode of The Torah Sparks Podcast we discuss the importance of YOU, the reason why the Parshah begins with the Menorah, a reason why we wear a costume/mask, and more.Check out the Torah Sparks website at https://www.torahsparks.com/ for the latest podcasts, videos and blog posts.If you enjoy this content, please share with your friends, family, and neighbors.

As a creature that spends most of its time in the air, birds are quite unrelatable to us human beings. Yet, for some reason, Jewish wisdom teaches that the Jewish people are actually compared to birds. In this week's episode of The Torah Sparks Podcast, we talk about birds and bring out a fascinating idea based on a Chizkuni in Parshas Terumah.

There was nothing about Kodak filing for bankruptcy in 2012 that made it a "Kodak Moment." It was a moment of disaster and great failure for what was, one of the leading companies in the photograph industry. Kodak suffered from complacency, which led to their need to file bankruptcy. We learn an incredibly important life lesson about the power of "healthy dissatisfaction" and we see how Yisro, despite having "made it in life," realized there must be more to do and accomplish.Check out the Torah Sparks website at https://www.torahsparks.com/ for the latest podcasts, videos and blog posts.If you enjoy this content, please share with your friends, family, and neighbors.

Have you ever wondered how National Geographic photographers are able to capture the most exquisite and picturesque footage? It's not their expensive cameras; rather, it's the risks that they are willing to take to get the breathtaking footage. We learn a life lesson about seeing "risks" as entrance ways into a life of greatness.

Toddlers are notorious for saying, "Myself!" They love trying to do tasks all by themselves, with no help. It's cute and all, and even healthy for a toddler to behave this way. But grown adults who constantly live with a "Myself!" mentality, not seeking help or assistance from others, are setting themselves up for failure.
