Shalom Bayit: 📜 Why is it so Hard to Make a Change?📜

We've witnessed the profound relevance and vital role Torah plays in fostering shalom bayit- peace in our homes.

So why do some hesitate to embrace it?

The answer lies in fear:

Many worry that Torah might restrict their habits, like watching TV, or demand new routines, such as rising early for prayer.

Change can feel daunting.

Yet, teshuva, or repentance, isn’t a shift, but a return. Appearing eight times in ten verses in Nitzavim, teshuva, meaning "returning," also signifies "answering", a response to a call.

It’s a journey back to a familiar place, like the open conversations with God you enjoyed as a child, which may have faded with age.

May our sincere teshuva efforts guide us back home, restoring that peace for our shalom bayit.
