The Book of Life: Weekly Wisdom with Ruchi Koval

The road to success is paved with failure. The biggest mistake is to let the fear of failure stop you from getting there.

The people who shaped us from the very beginning are often the ones we overlook. How can we adequately express gratitude for those that we take for granted?

A little white lie. A last-minute change of plans. A promise you might not be able to keep. 

These things don’t really matter, right? Jewish wisdom says otherwise.

Boundaries are sacred. Find the confidence to establish and keep yours, with guidance from Jewish wisdom. 

We all could use a break. This week, the Torah teaches us how to make the most of our time away from work.

Anxiety can make us feel like we are responsible for managing the entire universe. Here’s how wisdom from this week's Torah portion can help.

We’ve all done things we’re not proud of – but those mistakes do not need to define us. Ruchi Koval shares how this week's parsha can help us heal and move forward.

It takes a wise person to say, “I don’t know” – and, as we learn in this week's Torah potion, it takes an even wiser person to be okay with that answer.

Like the Israelites in this week's parsha, each of us is on a journey – but where we are heading may not be apparent for years to come.

Each of us is yearning for something just out of reach. Should we fight for what we want, or trust that we’ll get it if we wait patiently? This week's Torah portion may have the answer.
