What do our everyday driving decisions have to do with Parshas Eikev?

This week's Driving Through the Parsha explores a powerful lesson from Parshas Eikev: the small choices we make each day shape the people we become. Behind the wheel, seemingly minor decisions—speeding, distraction, impatience, or courtesy—can have lasting consequences.

Drawing on timeless Torah wisdom, this brief two-minute reflection offers practical inspiration to help us become safer, kinder, and more responsible drivers.

Jewish Driving: Ancient Wisdom for Safer and Kinder Roads is a community initiative dedicated to promoting safer driving through Jewish values, practical safety, and thoughtful decision-making.

Amital Rav Amital’s teachings shaped my understanding of Jewish history, identity, and faith. He saw history not as a series of random events, but as a purposeful divine journey leading to redemption. He emphasized that our relationship with God is reflected in the state of the Jewish people, and that the sanctification of His name is deeply intertwined with our national condition. Rav Amital urged us to approach religion with simplicity, authenticity and humility, blending rigorous study with moral integrity. This book is a deeply personal journey, shaped by over three decades of learning from Rav Amital, whose wisdom continues to echo in my heart. I hope that his voice and wisdom, woven into these pages, inspire others as it has inspired me.
