ELUL & THE PSYCHOLOGY OF RENEWAL | RABBI MOSHE NAIDITCH | ANOTHER JEWISH PODCAST EP. 15

What is Elul actually supposed to feel like, and what does “the King is in the field” really mean beyond the bumper sticker? In this episode, Moishe Nadech joins me for a conversation about Elul, teshuvah, desire, intuition, Tehillim, perfectionism, mental health and preparing for Rosh Hashanah without destroying yourself in the process. We get into why the smallest spiritual actions matter, how our relationship with our thoughts affects our emotional health, what children can teach us about natural happiness, the role of desire in spiritual growth, and even Moishe’s perspective on consciousness and AI. More than anything, this is a conversation about approaching Elul with intention, honesty and a little more gentleness.
