A new video is out on the popular Menorah YouTube channel: an address by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, dedicated to the weekly Torah portion Acharei Mot – Kedoshim. In this talk, Rabbi Kaminezki reflects on self-trust, spiritual challenges, and true holiness.
“Why can’t you fully trust yourself?” — Weekly Torah portion “Acharei Mot – Kedoshim”, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki.
“Can a spiritually developed, educated, and refined person fall so low as to commit terrible deeds? Unfortunately, yes. That is why the Torah warns us — even on the holiest day of Yom Kippur, we read about the gravest prohibitions.
In this episode, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki explains why overconfidence in one’s own righteousness can be dangerous and how to approach spiritual challenges properly.
🔹 Why is there no guarantee that ‘it won’t happen to you’?
🔹 How can we avoid the illusion of being protected?
🔹 Why do we read about the gravest sins on the holiest day?
🔹 How can we stay vigilant and spiritually strong?
Do you agree that every person is vulnerable? Share your thoughts in the comments!”
