Lech Lecha: A Diamond With a Flaw

from The Shmuz Hosted by JewishPodcasts.fm

Imagine two diamonds. One is completely flawless. The other has a tiny imperfection. Which is worth more? The answer might surprise you. Rabbi Shafier shares a powerful lesson from Avraham Avinu about the danger of becoming so consumed by our shortcomings that we lose sight of everything we've accomplished. Through the remarkable story of a struggling yeshiva bochur and the extraordinary example of Dovid HaMelech, discover why the greatest challenge isn't always overcoming our weaknesses. Sometimes, it's learning to recognise our own worth despite them. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
