In this deeply insightful continuation of Habits of a Whole Heart on hmTv, host Arnie Herz welcomes back Rabbi Shalom Paltiel, chief rabbi of Chabad of Port Washington, for Part 2 of their powerful conversation on Judaism, ego, and the transformative power of spiritual habits.
Together, they explore why it’s often easier to show compassion to animals than to fellow humans, how Torah wisdom anticipates our deepest emotional challenges, and why the Tenth Commandment—"Thou shalt not covet"—holds the key to inner peace.

With relatable humor, profound clarity, and practical takeaways, this episode unpacks the difference between freedom and true liberation, and shows how habitual mitzvot can lead us from ego-driven lives to heart-centered, God-connected living.
