Why Are New Beginnings Difficult? with Rabbi Benzion Klatzko
Manage episode 462507140 series 3510755
It's finally 2025 (5785 for those keeping track) and you want to start that new years resolution. A classic example that everyone struggles with is the desire to take on the dreaded gym goals. We know how this song goes: You start your gym membership. You realize how hard it is. You give up. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Whether or not you go to the gym, there are hundreds of tasks we wish we could take on but never do.
Rabbi Benzion Klatzko, a return guest from the early days of Bad Jew, comes back onto the podcast to reintroduce his wisdom to the Bad Jew fan base. Klatzko highlights the importance of new beginnings and explains from the deeper Talmudic lens why starting anything is excruciatingly difficult. This concept is no stranger to Chaz Volk who expresses the literal new beginning he is in by being in Israel for a FULL YEAR to study in Yeshiva at Aish HaTorah. Join Rabbi Klatzko and Chaz as they fully grasp the heavy burden of trying something new.
