## Resource

Comparison and judgment are integral to the human experience. Subconsciously or not, you are constantly rating yourself against others. The problem is when you’re so focused on measuring up in the here and now that you disregard your Olam Haba ranking. And the really scary part? Many frum Jews are going to get a big shock after ad meah v’esrim . The truth is, the real competition is not against others but against yourself. In this week's Shmuz on the Parsha, Rabbi Shafier addresses the importance of halting toxic judgments and superficial comparisons. Tune in to discover how to achieve an everlasting personal best – in this world and the next!   This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
