Let’s Get Practical
Not Following the Crowd
This week, I will bli neder work on fulfilling י∆ה¿הƒ ̇ ‡ֹל ֹ̇רָ עו¿ל יםƒּרַ ב ַחֲ ר≈ י‡ by choosing one area where I feel the pull of “everyone does it.” It may be spending habits, social expectations, clothing trends, or anything that comes from the multitude rather than Torah.
Once a day, when I face that pressure — even in a small way — I will pause and tell myself: “Just because it’s the majority doesn’t make it right.”
By practicing this small moment of independence each day, I train myself to be the kind of Jew the parsha describes — someone who stands firm even in face of the rabbim, and who refuses to let the world’s noise weaken his loyalty to the Torah.
This week’s booklet is based on tapes:
