About this listen
In this episode of Toward a Meaningful Life Podcast, hosts David Cohen and Levi Goldstein dive into a powerful class by Rabbi Simon Jacobson that explores how the hardest challenges and deepest pains in life can — against all odds — become sources of blessing, wisdom, and spiritual growth. Through the lens of the Torah story of Balaam and his failed attempts to curse the Jewish people, we examine what really defines us: not the struggles we face, but how we respond to them. Whether you’re dealing with loss, failure, betrayal, or simply life’s everyday setbacks — this episode offers a roadmap for transforming pain into purpose.
Reflect on five major “curses” in your life, explore whether they’ve been healed, buried, or transformed — and consider: how could your most painful moments become your greatest strengths?
Listen in for deep insight, honest conversation, and practical guidance to help you discover the hidden blessings in dark times.
