In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses the power of positivity and the importance of not being ambigous. How the lense we view things effects the reality we live in. We can choose to see even the most beneficial acts of kindness negatively or choose to see life with positivity. This connects the Parsha to Tisha B Av and teaches us a powerful lesson on how to rectify the destruction of the Temple. It also reconciles a issue in the Parsha on 2 different instances when Moshe admonished the Jewish people. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast.
