Podcast appearances and mentions of Stella K Abraham

For our pre-Rosh HaShana 5782 episode, we were joined once again by Shayna Goldberg, Mashgicha Ruchanit of the Stella K. Abraham Beit Midrash for Women at Migdal Oz. Shayna's first book What Do You Really Want: Trust and Fear in Decision Making at Life's Crossroads and in Everyday Living uses real-life scenarios to teach how to make decisions in which we can be confident. After such a difficult period globally, and with so much uncertainty for the future, we turned to Shayna to help us reflect on the last year, plan for the year ahead, and share some inspiration for Rosh HaShana. Shana shared her thoughts on the tefilla of Rosh HaShana, insights from Rav Soloveitchik, and a lot of personal reflections. From everyone at The Koren Podcast and Koren Publishers Jerusalem we'd like to wish all of our listeners a Shana Tova U'Metuka, Ketiva v'Hatima Tova.

The month and Elul and the approach of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur bring with them the overwhelming desire for introspection and self-reflection. Although we are all familiar with some of the classic works of mussar and ethics building, the Modern Orthodox community tends to shy away from the formal study of mussar. We sat down with Rabbi David Silverstein, assistant Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Orayta, and Rabbanit Shayna Goldberg, Mashgiha Ruhani of Migdal Oz to discuss why mussar tends to take a back seat in the Modern Orthodox world, a different approach to the study of ethics and our understanding of mitzvot and halakha, and to get some inspiration ahead of the High Holidays.Rabbi David Silverstein - Rabbi Silverstein is the Sgan (Assistant) Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshivat Orayta, located in the Old City of Jerusalem, and previously served as the Director of the Overseas Program at Yeshivat Hesder, Petach Tikva.
