Parshat Eikev: Small Steps, Big Changes

from JOI to the World · host Menachem Lehrfield

📖 Parshat Eikev This Week: The Torah says God watches over Israel 'me-reishit hashana ad acharit shana' from the beginning of THE year to the end of... year. Notice the missing 'the'? We start January thinking 'this is going to be THE year!' Hashanah with the definitive article. But by December, it's just become 'another year' shana, no 'the.' Why do our grand resolutions fail? Because we aim for massive transformation instead of small, sustainable steps. Real change doesn't happen because we declare it's going to be 'THE year.' It happens through tiny daily choices, little habits, and incremental growth. Want to change your life? Think smaller, not bigger. Shabbat Shalom. 📈✨ Listen to all our podcasts here: www.joidenver.com/podcasts ✨Follow us for more:Website - https://www.joidenver.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/joidenverFacebook - http://www.facebook.com/JOIdenverYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JOIdenverPinterest - http://pinterest.com/jewishdiySubscribe to "JOI to the World" to access all our podcasts, including Yada Yada Yiddish, Kids Say the Deepest Things, Reconnect, and Dear Rabbi.Join us as we uncover the treasures in our backyard and explore what makes the Jewish people extraordinary! 🕎📚🎙️
