Summary
📖 Parshat Devarim This Week: 'You can't know where you're going unless you know where you've come from.' Before crossing into the Promised Land, Moshe takes the entire nation through their history in Egypt, the wilderness, the mistakes, and the victories. He's not dwelling on the past; he's reflecting on it. There's a crucial difference: rumination is going over and over the past in an unhealthy, unproductive loop. Reflection is examining the past to learn from it and guide your future. We don't live in the past; that's rumination. We live in the present always. But we reflect on the past. We learn from it. We extract wisdom from it. That's how you move forward wisely. Before you enter your next chapter, take time to reflect on where you've been. What did you learn? What will you do differently? Shabbat Shalom. 🔄 CONNECT WITH US: 🎧 Listen to all our podcasts: [www.joidenver.com/podcasts] Follow us for more: Website - https://www.joidenver.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joidenver Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/JOIdenver YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JOIdenver Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/jewishdiy Subscribe to "JOI to the World" to access all our podcasts, including Yada Yada Yiddish, Kids Say the Deepest Things, Reconnect, and Dear Rabbi.
