Many of us are familiar with Ruth, but Rebbetzin Heller explores different angles of the story often left not discussed. Why was Elimelech in the wrong for leaving when he knew he would fail in his job of sustaining the nation in time of famine? What do the names of his two sons teach us – and who were they reincarnations of? And how did Boaz’s response to meeting Ruth show his great spiritual flexibility?
Often the gap between the goal of who we would like to be, and who we are is great – and worse, the path to get there is unclear at best. One of the ways to achieve self mastery is by analyzing people who have succeeded in attaining it. Rebbetzin Heller focuses on Ruth and her great descendent David, finding within them the courage it takes to face tests, change, and move on to the next challenge.
We often try to evade Hashem's presence, finding the task of seeing the bigger picture of life, and our place in it, just too uncomfortable to bear. Rebbetzin Heller focuses on Esther by showing how people deflect their greater consciousness of God. Hear how this plays out in every day life and how to readjust it.
Some people are prone to forget who they are, what they’re doing, why they’re doing it and even which responses to have in common life situations. How can we avoid getting spaced out, stay more focused and keep a tighter grip on our identity? Rebbetzin Heller explains two stabilizing ideas that can alter certain expectations that we might have adopted over the years.
It is hard to see oneself objectively. Can one really know if they've succeeded in reaching a level of humility without worrying that they may be fooling themselves? Rebbetzin Heller presents six different scenarios that we face here, and the proper reaction we should have for each to keep our egos in check.
Do we really fear God, or do our actions that show up as fear reflect a piety stemming from societal influences? Rebbetzin Heller maps out the three levels of fearing God, and describes how our soul is entrapped in the physical world, and how we slowly gather the information we need to break the body's hold on us.
