In this episode, Rabbi Shlomo Farhi weaves a sobering real-world warning about drunk driving with a deep Torah insight from Yaakov living in the house of Lavan. How can someone spend decades surrounded by corruption, excess, and distorted values and not be influenced?

We explore the difference between living as a “human” and living as an “animal,” how American throwaway culture seeps into our Judaism, why some people only see others as “120 pounds of what they can do for me,” and how to protect your inner world from the culture around you. This class is both a wake-up call for the road and a guide to spiritual resistance.
