Habits of a Whole Heart (Ep. 232, Part 1)
In this episode of Habits of a Whole Heart on hmTv, host Arnie Herz sits down with his longtime friend and teacher, Rabbi Levi Paltiel, for a conversation about purpose, wholeness, and the power of daily habits.
Together, they explore timeless Chassidic teachings from the Tanya, the meaning of unity, and how to see life’s inconsistencies as part of a greater plan. Rabbi Levi shares wisdom on serving God with joy, being the “CEO of your own life,” and finding purpose at any age or stage. Arnie reflects on his own late-in-life connection to Judaism, and how even missed years can become springboards for growth and service.
As they approach the High Holidays, the discussion turns to Elul—the month when “the King is in the field”—and how to experience God’s closeness in a deeply personal way. The episode closes with a candid exchange on overcoming negative experiences of religion and discovering authentic, life-giving spirituality.
This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation that blends warmth, humor, and deep insight—an invitation to taste the wholeness of living with a whole heart.
