A new episode in the series of talks by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, dedicated to the weekly Torah portion “Nitzavim,” has been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel.
This time, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki addresses an extremely relevant topic: what is more important – innate talent or hard work? Do difficulties and the struggle with our own weaknesses truly become our steps toward true greatness?
Using examples from the lives of prominent figures – Einstein and Maimonides (Rambam), who were not at all considered “stars” in their youth – the rabbin shows that the path to success is open to everyone. The Torah in the portion “Nitzavim” emphasizes: “It is very close to you” – meaning the power for change and renewal is always within reach; one only needs to make an internal choice.
In the new episode, you will learn:
– Why willpower and discipline are often more important than natural ability;
– How a simple childhood experiment with two candies explains the secret of future success;
– Why overcoming difficulties and struggling against one’s own nature provide the greatest value;
– How our perseverance and work on ourselves make the world brighter and kinder.
This talk is inspiring, offers support in moments of doubt, and proves that each of us is capable of rising above our own limitations, drawing closer to the Almighty, and discovering our true strength.
Don’t miss this episode on the “Menorah” channel – it will open new horizons for you and serve as a reminder: difficulties are not obstacles, but steps on the path to greatness.
