Spiritual Strength Training: Building Joy in Adar

In this impromptu episode, I share a powerful realization about spiritual growth and how it mirrors physical training. Inspired by my morning workout and the wisdom of Rabbi Cohen and Rabbi Pill, I uncover the key spiritual muscle Hashem wants us to strengthen in Adar—joy. Just as different times of the year call for different focuses, this month is about cultivating Simcha, even (and especially) when challenges arise. Through personal experiences and insights from Torah, we explore how joy transforms our mitzvos, davening, and connection to Hashem.

Listen in to discover how to build your spiritual strength and ensure your avodah is infused with true Simcha!
