We all know it: we woke up in the morning with peak energy, we had time, we did it, we were satisfied – and then one disparaging sentence comes along, a small comment on the street or a hurtful criticism, and our whole day is ruined. Suddenly we are in a loop of thoughts: "Why did he say that?", "How do I prove him wrong?", and most of all – "Why does this even bother me so much?".
In a fascinating lesson on Parashat Bamidbar, Rabbi Yoav Akrish dives deep into the soul and reveals the internal mechanism that causes us to give people control over our lives — without knowing or intending to, and the way to get it back.
In the lesson we will discover:
✔️ Why failure shouldn't define you
✔️ How to listen to criticism without crashing
✔️ What message will change the way you look at yourself?
✔️ How to build self-worth that doesn't depend on any external achievement or compliment
✔️ Release the need for everyone to love you and start living with inner stability
This is a practical guide to building true Jewish resilience, which allows us to listen to criticism without breaking down, and to understand that our value is infinite – simply because we exist.
