The Believe in Yourself Show with Rabbi Yisroel Roll

In this episode, we explore Tractate Shabbat 133b, where the Talmud unpacks the powerful words sung at the Sea of Reeds: “This is my God, and I will glorify Him.” What does it mean to glorify God? How can we bring His presence into the world?

Through this foundational passage, we discover a life-changing principle: our purpose is to emulate God's character. Just as God is compassionate, patient, forgiving, creative, and truthful, we are meant to reflect those same traits in our lives. This is how we perfect ourselves and transform the world around us.

You’ll also learn:

Why the 13 attributes of God (Exodus 34:6–7) are essential to spiritual growth

How the Talmud views the Written Torah as “lecture notes” to a deeper oral tradition

Why acting with empathy and integrity is a true religious and spiritual act
