In a world of constant stress and uncertainty, how do we build a life of purpose and emotional stability? Discover how a former combat commander uses ancient wisdom to build modern resilience and unbreakable character.
Rabbi Binny Freedman is the Rosh Yeshiva of Orayta in Jerusalem and a former Company Commander in the IDF. Having survived the 2001 Sbarro bombing, Rabbi Binny’s teachings on gratitude and leadership aren't just theoretical—they are battle-tested insights from a man who has navigated the extremes of human experience.
We often view "ethics" as a set of rules, but the Jewish concept of Middot (character traits) is actually a technology for habit-forming. Using the "Maimonides Method," Rabbi Binny explains how to build a "healthy soul" through intentional repetition—turning positive actions into second nature so you can remain balanced even in high-pressure environments.
Key Takeaways:
-
The Power of Proactive Giving: Why shifting from a "rights-based" to an "obligations-based" mindset is the ultimate antidote to modern anxiety.
-
The Science of Habit: How to use intentional repetition to overwrite negative behaviors and build lasting inner strength.
-
Willpower as a Muscle: Why setting personal boundaries and ethical "restrictions" actually creates the freedom to succeed in professional and personal life.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
