September 18, 2026
Episode Description
Yom Kippur forces us to confront the things we've done wrong. But how do you honestly admit your failures without allowing them to define you? Rabbi Shafier reveals the crucial difference between being flawed and being a failure, and why even the greatest people in history made mistakes. Through the powerful image of a diamond with a flaw, discover how to face your shortcomings without denying them or being crushed by them, do real teshuvah, and keep moving forward toward the person you're capable of becoming.
