Ekev 5783: Pathways to Gratitude

Are we truly able to be aware of and appreciate the blessings in our lives?

This week, Zvi is joined in the Pardes from Jerusalem studio by Rabbi Michael Hattin. Michael shares with us how Parshat Ekev teaches us about abundance, awareness, and gratitude.  Together, we explore the obstacles facing each of us in cultivating greater appreciation and awareness of the blessings in our lives, and how the Torah both anticipated this challenge and offers tools for overcoming it.
