Who Should We Blame When Things Go Wrong?

from Lessons For Life by Rabbi Jonathan Tawil

In this episode, we dive into the timeless story of Yaakov wrestling with the angel of Esav and explore what it teaches us about personal responsibility, faith, and the challenges of the Yetzer Hara—the evil inclination.

Just as we say Shema Yisrael with full devotion, we too can navigate life’s challenges with spiritual strength.
