Receiving Blessings from Curses
In this Yom Kippur sermon, Rabbi Tovlev gets deep and vulnerable about his past struggles with depression. He shares that this darkness has given him heightened appreciation of the light. Many of us go through our days focusing on putting one foot in front of the other, not noticing the blessings that surround us. When we pause to look around, we can see the beauty and goodness in our world and our lives. We only have one life to live, but are we truly living?
