What’s happening in your mind—and why does it matter so much?

Through practical strategies and profound encouragement, this episode provides a roadmap for taking control of your inner world and turning Hirhurim into a path of growth and connection to Hashem. Discover the power of your mind and how to channel it toward kedusha.
