Understanding Your Purpose on Yom Kippur
September 15, 2026
Episode Description
Yom Kippur isn't only about looking back at what you've done wrong. It's also an opportunity to look forward and ask a much bigger question: Am I becoming the person I'm supposed to be? Rabbi Shafier explains why your job isn't to measure yourself against anyone else, but to understand the unique strengths, challenges, and mission Hashem gave you. Learn how Yom Kippur can become not just a day for erasing the mistakes of the past, but a chance to rethink where you're going and who you want to become.
