When conflict arises, our instinct is to problem-solve, mediate, and find common ground.
In this teaching from Pirkei Avot, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explains why that approach often stays superficial, and why real healing requires a deeper shift.
Lasting change doesn’t begin by fixing the argument.
It begins by working on ourselves.
When we grow internally, the entire dynamic changes. In marriage, parenting, the workplace, and every social interaction.
Key themes:
– Why conflict keeps returning
– The limits of surface-level resolution
– Pirkei Avot’s inner model for healing
– Personal growth as the key to peace
– Transforming relationships from the inside out
