There are people who have everything—and feel like they have nothing. And there are people with very little—who live with a deep sense of richness. What’s the difference? Not circumstance. Not opportunity. A mindset. In this week’s parashah, Tazria, the Torah introduces a halachah that seems technical—but reveals something profound: you cannot live beneath who you are. A person’s offering must reflect their true capacity, not what is convenient, not what others bring, but what they themselves are capable of becoming.
In this episode of Breakfast & a Class, we explore the hidden poverty that
Chazal warn about—“אין עני אלא בדעת”—and uncover how the way we see ourselves shapes everything: our relationships, our growth, even our avodat Hashem. Through powerful stories and practical insight, this class will challenge you to rethink what it means to be “rich,” and why the greatest loss in life is not
what we lack—but what we fail to recognize within ourselves.
