The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed

I approached this interview, with Rabbi Wohlgelernter, with the following question; how does one fulfill the mitzvah of remaining joyful while learning how to be Torah observant? As for me, it has been a continual experience of thinking I have learned everything needed, only to then learn that I barely know anything.   In this episode, Rabbi Wohlgelernter explains that this process of growth should not be approached with the attitude of getting past these challenges, as the challenges are there intentionally by G-d’s design, but it is through the challenges that we become closer to Him.   So, if the challenges are inevitable for all of us then the real question is, how to embrace the challenges.   This extremely insightful and life changing conversation will be a three-part series, as the messaging is too important and too powerful to squeeze into one.
