Parashat Nitzavim, Value of Kavana, Reincarnation, The Biblical Source of Teshuva

In "Parashat Nitzavim: Value of Kavana, Reincarnation, The Biblical Source of Teshuva," we delve into an engaging and profound exploration of the spiritual intricacies in the Parashat Nitzavim. We investigate the value of 'Kavana' - intentionality in prayer, the Jewish belief in reincarnation, and the Biblical roots of Teshuva - the act of repentance. As we journey through these riveting subjects, we aim to deepen our understanding of these Torah concepts and their application in our lives. Join us in this enlightening journey as we uncover the Torah's wisdom on these matters.

Born in Netanya, Israel, Rabbi Yaron Reuven began his American Dream as a little boy, when his family immigrated to the United States. He went from a newspaper boy at the age of 10, to a well-known self-made Wall Street multimillionaire by the age of 23. During his time in Wall Street, he owned his own private brokerage firm, a hedge fund, and an international insurance agency. He was featured on CNBC, Bloomberg and Chinese NDTV due to his success in the financial industry. At age 26 he faced a 7-year battle for his life when a simple surgery went wrong. From that moment his life would never be the same. This moment marked the start of a series of miraculous events and an exciting pursuit of truth, ultimately resulting in Rabbi Reuven renouncing his lofty position and success in Wall Street, after 16 years, to become a full-time KIRUV rabbi. His Teshuva story is sure to catch the heart of every listener. Rabbi Reuven’s shiurim are in English and Hebrew.

Rabbi Reuven is the leading educator on the topic of wasting seed in the English language with over 100 videos about this topic published online.
