Self-Love, Surrender, and the Soul: Reclaiming Authentic Judaism in a World of Trauma

Rabbi YY Jacobson

Can true surrender to Hashem coexist with self-trust, emotional health, and authentic self-love? Drawing on Chassidut, Tanya, psychology, and personal experience, Rabbi Jacobson addresses the dangers of spiritual narcissism, the importance of trusting one's inner truth, and why real humility is not self-erasure but deeper alignment with the Divine. Discover how authentic Judaism invites the whole person into a living relationship with Hashem, and why true growth begins when we stop suppressing ourselves and start embracing our deepest, God-given identity.
