Rabbi Yigal Cohen, a leading halachic authority and head of the Yavi Omer institutions as well as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, delivers a daily spiritual encouragement segment titled "Strengthening in 60 Seconds" on Kikar HaShabbat. In this brief and timely video, Rabbi Cohen draws from the classic Jewish ethical work "Chovot HaLevavot" (Duties of the Heart) to emphasize the importance of trusting in God not only for general life matters but specifically for the fulfillment of mitzvot (commandments).

The segment, lasting under a minute, highlights that some commandments require a deep reliance on divine providence to be properly fulfilled. Rabbi Cohen's message encourages viewers to strengthen their faith and trust in God as an essential component of religious observance. The video was recorded by Shimon Bardi and published on July 13, 2026, on Kikar HaShabbat's platform, targeting the Haredi community.

This daily dose of spiritual reinforcement aims to inspire and remind the audience of the inner dimension of mitzvot, focusing on the heart's duties and trust in God as taught in Jewish tradition. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by religious leaders to provide accessible, concise religious guidance in contemporary media formats.
