Using the High Holidays to Change Direction

“Repentance, in essence, embodies a return to our best selves, the me that each of us really wants to be.”

— Dr. Elliott Malamet

Is it time to change the course of your life? Perhaps this episode of The Living Jewishly Podcast is exactly what you need in order to instigate that change. 

In this episode, Dr. Elliott Malamet breaks down the four components outlined in the Talmud for changing one’s circumstances. Giving to charity, crying out, changing names, and changing actions. As a bonus, he explains how changing one’s physical place can have equally beneficial effects on redirecting the course of one’s life.

As we approach the High Holidays this episode may provide you with the opportunity to explore deeply within yourself, whether you wish to make a change, big or small, and how you might go about doing it.
