In this week’s parsha, Ki Seitzei, a mitzvah about putting a fence on a roof seems straightforward — until Chazal pull back the curtain. Suddenly it’s not about construction at all, but about the dangerous thoughts that can knock us down before we even realize it.

As Elul winds down and Rosh Hashanah approaches, this shiur explores the battle inside our minds — the yetzer hara’s quiet whispers, the urge to overthink, the plans that collapse before they’re even built. Through a powerful mashal of a man and his basket of eggs, we uncover how to build real fences around our thoughts, and how to find the strength to take life one step at a time.
