We all make mistakes. That’s the human condition.
Kohelet teaches: “There is no person on earth who does only good and never sins.” (7:20)
In this Torah reflection from Pirkei Avot, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explains why the hardest question we can ask ourselves is: “Where did I go wrong?”
Honest self-assessment is difficult because human beings are naturally subjective. But it is also the only path to growth, improvement, and success, in mitzvot, in service of Hashem, and in every area of life.
Key themes:
– Why self-assessment is so hard
– Kohelet on human mistakes
– Pirkei Avot on honest growth
– Jewish wisdom on fixing mistakes
– The path to success through humility
