Nothing Is Owed To Us - Rabbi Aryeh Weinstein (ep. 844)

In this podcast we talk about the importance of gratitude and humility in achieving happiness and fulfillment. The conversation highlights how gratitude allows us to appreciate what we have and not focus on entitlement or what we don't have, while humility is about doing things for a sense of purpose and not self-indulgence. 

Aryeh Weinstein has served as the Rabbi of The Shul at Newtown, a Chabad synagogue in Newtown, Pennsylvania and as the director of the Jay Michael Swartz Jewish Learning Academy over 20 years.
