Keeping it Holy & the Art of Self Control (Parsha In-Focus: Kedoshim‪)‬ Parsha Review Podcast · Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe

Unlock the secrets to cultivating a life of holiness and self-discipline as we are guided through the ancient wisdom of Parshas Kedoshim. Prepare to be inspired by how incorporating self-restraint into your daily routine can elevate your spiritual existence, reflecting the divine. This episode delves into the Torah's call for the Children of Israel to be holy and how this directive is as relevant today as ever. We explore the sage advice on sanctifying ourselves by exercising control even in permissible indulgences, drawing upon the exemplary life of the Chofetz Chaim and the practice of "Taanis HaReivid." Personal anecdotes shed light on the formative impact of kosher laws from a tender age, demonstrating the far-reaching implications of self-control and the understanding of boundaries within our society.
Embark on a transformative journey to understanding the value of boundaries and how to impart this crucial life lesson to our children. We discuss the halachic rule preventing children from sitting in their father's seat as more than a mere directive; it's a foundational concept in fostering respect and self-restraint. We touch upon the principle of "Kadesh Atzmecha B'mutar Lach," advocating for the voluntary addition of restrictions to enhance personal holiness. This episode isn't just about rules; it's a heartfelt plea for daily self-improvement, whether you're a seeker of spiritual growth or someone looking to instill timeless values in the next generation, this conversation offers profound insights for a life led with purpose and reverence.
