Why is the month of Tammuz traditionally a time of danger and mourning for the Jewish people? In this week’s transformative masterclass, Rabbi Moshe Yoel Pinto, Shlita (conveying the teachings of Mori V’Rabbi Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto), explores the deep psychological and spiritual mechanics of these months.
Drawing from the stories of Balak and Balaam, the Tribe of Reuven, and the first Mishnah in Tractate Berakhot, we learn how to identify the “Upgraded Yetzer Hara”—the force that tricks us into rationalizing our failures as spiritual goals.
In this episode, you will discover:
✅ Why G-d aligned the seasons of the year with the Jewish calendar.
✅ The secret of the 3 Watches of the Night and the path to true Teshuvah.
✅ Why judging others favorably is the ultimate sign of a corrected soul.
✅ The “Leviathan Principle” for mastering physical desires.
Don’t enter the “Three Weeks” without this spiritual roadmap.
