Rabbi Yigal Cohen Offers Daily Spiritual Guidance on Faith and Practice
Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a prominent rabbinical authority and head of the "Yabia Omer" institutions, is delivering daily "60-Second Strengthening" segments on the news site Kikar HaShabbat. These brief, topical segments focus on spiritual strengthening and are drawn from the teachings of the medieval work "Chovot HaLevavot" (Duties of the Heart).
The segments aim to provide concise spiritual advice, with the latest installment emphasizing that faith, or "Emunah" in Hebrew, is derived from the root word for "to practice" or "to train," suggesting that faith requires active engagement and consistent effort. The segments are presented as a daily dose of spiritual reinforcement for the public.
Rabbi Cohen, who is also a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, is known for his efforts in public outreach and religious education. The "60-Second Strengthening" series is part of his ongoing work to make religious teachings accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. The segments are accompanied by video content, allowing viewers to watch the daily messages.
