In this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah and Eda, we tackle the paradoxes and puzzles that we come up against in Torah and Judaism with Rabbi Dov Schochet. Right in time for Rosh Hashana, this episode will help you enter the new year with clarity, drive, and purpose. We cover questions such as: 

-What are the Torah’s guidelines on seeking and granting forgiveness?

-What is the Torah’s view on healing and finding joy?

- What does Teshuva mean practically for us today?

- What is the Torah's view on balancing materialism and spirituality, especially when asking for blessings on Rosh Hashanah?

- How should one navigate the political landscape as a Torah-observant Jew?

- Can the Torah laws adapt to modern developments?

- How do you reconcile the idea that "the world was created for me" with humility?

-What guidance does the Torah give on deciding between staying in yeshiva and entering the workforce?

- What is healthy love according to the Torah, and how does it differ from selfish or destructive love?

And many more!

We hope you enjoy this episode and wish you a sweet year full of revealed goodness and

miracles!

As always, thank you for being our treasured listeners and supporters.

Rivkah & eda

Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to forget or miss a day of giving charity. Imagine the opportunity to partner daily with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in giving Tzedaka.

71 years ago, the Rebbe launched Keren Hashana, a fund ensuring that no day goes by without giving charity. By donating an amount reflecting the 355 days of this year, Keren Hashana disburses charity twice daily—before Shachris and Mincha—guaranteeing your daily giving.

The amount doesn’t matter; the key is consistency- to give Tzedaka every year. Funds support those in need through Chabad’s global network, from single-parent households to educational subsidies and emergency assistance. Join thousands worldwide and be a giver every day.

The HERZOG  Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon is perhaps not as well known as the Herzog Napa Valley and Alexander Valley, but that’s only because it was introduced more recently. Lake County is a wine growing region in Northern California that many winemakers like to nickname “the new Napa”. The area is known for its volcanic soil and sharp differences of temperature between the day and night during the growing and harvesting season. The result is a wine that is rich and flavorful, an absolute delight both to enjoy now and to age for many years to come.
