In this episode, we explore a luminous teaching from Kedushat Levi on Parashat Sh’lach: that the glory of the Divine isn’t revealed through perfection or purity, but through our very human capacity to choose goodness in the face of struggle. Drawing on the mystical insight that free will is what makes our spiritual path meaningful, Rabbi Ben Newman reflects on how each moment of conscious choice—each act of compassion, restraint, or faithfulness—helps to fill the world with Divine presence. This is a message of spiritual empowerment for anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed, inadequate, or distant from holiness. Through real-life examples and soulful insight, we reframe the inner battle not as a failure, but as a sacred opportunity to partner with the Divine in revealing light.
