Elul invites us to ask: Do I have to serve Hashem… or do I get to?In this heartfelt conversation with my husband, Rabbi Nisso Palti, we explore what it really means to “choose in” — to live Torah not out of guilt or habit, but out of joy, privilege, and deep relationship with Hashem.In this candid episode, we dive into: • Why “Ani L’dodi V’dodi Li” is the essence of Elul • The difference between being dragged along vs. living with intention • Teaching our children that they don’t have to daven—they get to • The role of free will, presence, and perspective in making mitzvos joyful • How to embrace individuality and raise kids who choose in for themselves • Why every generation needs both tradition and renewal • Practical ways to bring more simcha, kavana, and authenticity into mitzvosWith stories, humor, and deep Torah insights, this episode is an invitation to stop being a “victim of halacha” and start owning your Torah—living it with joy, confidence, and a sense of privilege.
