Rabbi Yigal Cohen’s Daily 60-Second Lesson Warns Against Seeking Honor

By כיכר השבת
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

The Hebrew news site Kikar HaShabbat features its short daily segment, “Strengthening in 60 Seconds,” with Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a noted halachic authority and head of the Yabia Omer institutions. Cohen, who also serves on the Chief Rabbinate Council, gives a brief contemporary teaching drawn from Bahya ibn Pakuda’s classic work Chovot HaLevavot, or Duties of the Heart.

The installment’s message is that any action done for the sake of honor leads to loss: “Anything you do for the sake of honor, you will lose from it,” according to the headline attached to the clip. The segment is presented as a daily religious encouragement item and is described as short and relevant to the moment.

The article does not report a broader news event, but instead promotes the video lesson itself. It invites readers to watch the 1 minute and 25 second clip, which is credited to photographer Shimon Bardi.
