You put on tefillin. You hold back one piece of lashon hara. You say one tefillah with real kavana. It can feel like such a small thing. But what if the true impact of that mitzvah is far greater than anything you can see? Rabbi Shafier reveals a fascinating picture of how your choices affect not only yourself, but the spiritual worlds beyond you. Discover why even the smallest mitzvah matters more than you realize, why an aveirah carries such weight, and how understanding the true power of your actions can completely change the way you approach Yom Kippur.
