Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a prominent rabbinic figure and head of the 'Yabia Omer' institutions, is delivering daily spiritual reinforcement segments on the website 'Kikar HaShabbat'. These short, topical segments, titled '60 Seconds of Reinforcement', draw inspiration from the medieval Jewish philosophical work 'Chovot HaLevavot' (Duties of the Heart).
The latest segment, released on September 9, 2026, focuses on the concept of 'teaching merit' or 'teaching to judge favorably' (lifnim mi'shurat hadin). The segments aim to provide brief, actionable spiritual advice to the public.
Rabbi Cohen is known for his role as a 'mekazeh harabim' (one who brings many closer to religious observance) and is a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council. The 'Kikar HaShabbat' website is a prominent platform for Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jewish news and content.
