Length: 37 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/15/24), in our Q&A, we took up three questions, in what turned out to be the most important Q&A of the 2023-2024 year thus far: (1a) What role should guilt play in our lives and (1b) how should we deal with it? (2) What strategies can we use to strengthen our attachment to and observance of halacha? and (3) How do you know whether a change in your behavior is a result of the temporary circumstances or is indicative of a more substantial change? I was especially pleased with Question #2, which I responded to by giving TEN strategies for strengthening our connection with halacha, thanks to Chip & Dan Heath.
