The ReJEWvenating Podcast - Episode 3: Good vs. Bad
from The ReJEWvenating Podcast · host The reJEWvenating Podcast
Are people born good, bad, or morally neutral?And what does Judaism really mean when it talks about the Yetzer HaTov and Yetzer HaRa?In this episode of The ReJEWvenating Podcast, we explore how Judaism understands human nature, morality, and inner conflict. Instead of seeing people as simply “good” or “bad,” Jewish thought introduces a far more nuanced model — one where every person is born with both a positive and negative inclination, and life is about learning how to navigate that tension.This episode reframes morality not as perfection, but as the courage to choose right even when it’s hard — and shows how Judaism sees every internal battle as an opportunity for meaning.A thoughtful, honest conversation about who we really are, and how we become who we’re meant to be.
