Rabbi Yigal Cohen Offers Daily Spiritual Guidance on Humility
Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a prominent rabbinical figure and head of the "Yabia Omer" institutions, is delivering daily spiritual messages on the website " כיכר השבת " (Kiכר HaShabat). These short, topical segments, titled "Strengthening in 60 Seconds," draw from the teachings of the medieval work "Chovot HaLevavot" (Duties of the Heart).
In a recent segment, Rabbi Cohen focused on the month of Elul, a period of spiritual introspection in the Jewish calendar. He emphasized the importance of cultivating the trait of humility during this time, suggesting it should be the primary focus of one's spiritual efforts. The segment also touched upon the destructive nature of pride, linking it to the need for humility.
The teachings are presented as a daily reinforcement, aiming to provide timely spiritual advice to the public. Rabbi Cohen is known for his role as a "mekazeh harabim" (one who causes many to return to religious observance) and as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council.
