In this episode of Israel Gap Year B’Iyun, Avi Proctor sits down with Rabbi Ben Leybovich to talk about how comparison and pressure have reshaped the way people experience personal and spiritual growth.

They explore why growth today often feels performative instead of personal, how constantly measuring ourselves against others leaves so many feeling stuck or behind, and what authentic growth can look like when it’s rooted in individuality rather than competition.

This conversation offers a healthier, more honest way to think about growth for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure they’re growing the “right” way.
