Episode 78: Habits of a Whole Heart – Part 1 with Rabbi Shalom Paltiel
hmTv | Hosted by Arnie Herz
In this deeply enriching episode of Habits of a Whole Heart, Arnie Herz sits down with Rabbi Shalom Paltiel, head of Chabad of Port Washington and Arnie’s longtime spiritual guide and friend. Together, they explore what it means to live with a “whole heart” through the lens of Jewish wisdom, Kabbalah, and Chassidic philosophy.
From the dual nature of the human soul to the concept of divine oneness, Rabbi Paltiel offers profound insights into integrating both our higher and lower selves, cultivating spiritual awareness, and living with intention and compassion. They discuss the relevance of Torah teachings for all humanity, the deeper reality beneath our perceived separateness, and how small habits can align us with the sacred in everyday life.
Whether you're curious about spirituality, seeking more meaning, or looking to deepen your personal growth, this conversation offers a powerful reminder: wholeness begins when we realize we’re already part of something whole.
Topics Covered:
- What it means to love God with “both hearts”
- The divine and animal soul in Chassidus
- How individuality and unity coexist
- The true nature of God beyond anthropomorphism
- The universal relevance of Torah wisdom
- Kindness and morality as expressions of divine connection
