Reclaiming Your Inner Worth

In this episode of Toward a Meaningful Life Podcast, hosts David Cohen and Levi Goldstein unpack Rabbi Simon Jacobson’s powerful teaching on Tisha B’Av, exploring how the ancient day of mourning captures our deepest modern challenge: reclaiming dignity in a world that often defines us by what we have, not who we are.Drawing from Rabbi Jacobson’s YouTube class “How to Eliminate Self-Doubt Forever (The Epic Trick to Connect to Your Soul),” (full class linked below), David and Levi dive into the Kabbalistic concept of “ten but not nine”, where dignity (malchut) is the missing piece that gives meaning and balance to all our other spiritual and intellectual strengths.With warmth, humor, and heart, they bring the wisdom of the Temple’s destruction—not as a tragedy alone, but as the fertile ground for renewal. They’ll ask you: “What’s more important—net worth or self-worth?”, and invite you to reclaim your birthright of dignity, grounded in the simple truth: Birth is God saying you matter.Listen in for:A fresh, relatable take on Jewish mysticismPersonal stories and reflections about the fragility and power of self-respectA call to rediscover your dignity—even in exile, even in darknessFull class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F01u9ST61X4Let’s journey toward a meaningful life.
