In this episode of The Torah Broker Podcast, Rabbi Zvi Holland joins Torah Broker Sanford Burstyn for a powerful conversation about the battle between light and darkness and the forces that shape the choices we make every day. Pronunciation note: The Hebrew word Satan (שָׂטָן) is pronounced “sah-TAHN,” with an “ah” sound, rather than the English pronunciation “SAY-tan.” In this episode, .Rabbi Holland offers a fascinating Jewish perspective on the Satan, explaining how temptation, distraction, social pressure, and materialism pull us away from our true purpose. Through sharp insights, humor, and memorable stories, they explore why so many of us simply follow the crowd and what it takes to step off the treadmill.
