Video Description
Jewish law is organized into three meta concepts – our relationship towards God, others, and ourselves. This class outlines how to create a meaningful relationship with ourselves. The first step is developing a sense of self compassion taping into your intrinsic greatness. The second step is protecting yourself from falling into a superficial ideology holding you back from building a better you. At the root of this work is tackling the inherent paradoxes in our lives so they don’t pull us apart in different directions.
