Cultivating the Spiritual Practice of Self-Confidence / Bitachon Atzmi

Class Title – Cultivating the Spiritual Practice of Self-Confidence / Bitachon Atzmi

Class taught by Yiscah Smith

Class description: This session explores the high value that Jewish tradition places on bitachon atzmi – self-confidence and being able to trust in one’s self and one’s judgment. Based on the episode with Calev and the spies when the verse in Numbers 14:24 refers to Calev as possessing a ruach acheret – a different spirit. We all have a spark of Calev within us, a unique spirit, the source for cultivating courage and resilience.
