Ep. 5 - What Drives True Avodas Hashem?
In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning of Yiras Shamayim and what it truly means to go beyond the basics in Avodas Hashem. Why do people resist taking on extra responsibilities like chumras, and how can they actually strengthen our relationship with Hashem?
Through the lens of the Ramchal’s teachings, we’ll uncover the power of lifnim mishuras hadin—going above and beyond halachic obligations—not as a burden, but as an opportunity to enhance our spiritual lives. Join us as we reflect on the importance of Mussar, the effort required for growth, and the extraordinary rewards that come with true dedication to Avodas Hashem.
