About this episode

Rabbi Michael Cohen joins Dan Kullman to discuss the importance of a strong spiritual foundation and how it influences every aspect of life.

What if the greatest obstacle to spiritual growth isn't a lack of knowledge, but a weak foundation? In this episode, Rabbi Michael Cohen joins me as we explore Rav Dessler's profound meditation on the opening words of Mesillas Yesharim . Together, we discover how to build a life in which every role, every decision, and every mitzvah is rooted in a single purpose, why truth must move from the mind into the heart before it can transform us, and how living with Yiras Shamayim can reshape the way we experience every moment of life.
