Fell Spiritually This Summer? Here’s How to Bounce Back | Parshat Eikev

This summer, many of us slip in our שמירת המצוות while traveling or relaxing. In this shiur, we uncover a powerful idea from Parshas Ekev about the wooden Aron that held the Luchos after the חטא העגל, and why Hashem chose wood to teach us that even after a spiritual fall, we can always grow again. Through the story of the broken Luchos, real-life examples of forgiveness and self-forgiveness, and the deeper meaning of the word “Ekev,” you’ll see that no matter how far you’ve fallen, the Torah is still an עץ חיים for you. If you’ve ever felt stuck after a mistake, this message is for you.
