The Book of Life: Weekly Wisdom with Ruchi Koval

Feeling empathy isn’t easy. As Ruchi dives into this week's parsha and Moses' path to leadership, she asks an important question: How can we embrace the discomfort to truly comfort another?

Do secrets protect us or hurt us? Ruchi Koval shares how the Torah’s wisdom can help us find a healthy balance.

Parshat Mikeitz:

If we don’t really mean it, should we still say, “I’m sorry?”

We’ve all overcommitted and not been able to follow through on our promises. Ruchi Koval turns to our patriarch, Abraham, for help kicking the habit.

Real-life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, or a map, or even a cheat sheet. Ruchi Koval helps us face the journey with a little guidance from this week's parsha, Lech Lecha.

Whether your “pond” is big or small, it’s up to you to decide how big a fish you’d like to be. Dive into the story of Noah with Momentum's Ruchi Koval.
