Listen "Ep. 49 V’hi Ratzon (continued) - Putting Hashem First"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Rabbi Eliyahu Farhi reflects on how we spend so much energy worrying about how others see us — but what if we started asking how Hashem sees us? To make sure we act, speak, and respond in a way that reflects how Hashem would want us to. When we stop chasing approval from people and start focusing on our standing before God, we gain true grounding. Through a powerful teaching from Chazal, we’re reminded: if we can feel Hashem’s presence in the room as vividly as we feel another person’s, we’ll choose better, speak kinder, and live higher.
