Welcome to Core Prayers with Rabbi Ari Herzog from Chabad of the Valley. Today, we dive deeper into the morning blessings, focusing on the blessing of clothing. As we prepare to thank God for this essential gift, let’s reflect on a thought-provoking question: Is shame a good or a bad thing?

Often viewed negatively, shame can also hold positive aspects—like the natural instinct to cover ourselves. This instinct connects us to modesty, humility, and gratitude. In a world where clothing was once a luxury, we must appreciate the abundance we have today.

As we explore the blessing, we'll uncover the wisdom behind the laws of dressing and the spiritual significance of our choices. From the right shoe to modest attire, every detail carries meaning.

Join us as we unravel the layers of this blessing, and discover how our thoughts, speech, and actions—our spiritual garments—can be transformed just like our clothing. Let’s open our hearts and minds to today’s lesson as we embrace a day filled with blessings.
