What should you do after you’ve fallen?

It’s easy to feel defeated after making a mistake, thinking, “What’s the point of trying again?” But the Torah teaches us that failure is not the end—it’s the beginning of a new opportunity. The Yetzer Hara thrives on our despair, convincing us to stop fighting. How can we overcome this trap and find the strength to start again?

In this episode, Rabbi Klapper explains the Torah’s approach to resilience. Through timeless wisdom and relatable examples, he reveals how even a single act of stopping a negative behavior—even after repeated failures—brings immense nachas to Hashem. With practical tools to combat despair and strategies to focus on small victories, this discussion offers a roadmap for turning every fall into a step toward greatness. Discover how Hashem values effort above perfection and why starting again, no matter where you are, is the ultimate key to spiritual growth.
