Spiritual Growth Durring Shovavim


From a Shiur by Shira Smiles on Shovavim

Shovavim represents a time of the year when we should work on curbing our physical desires. For a women this is best expressed in terms of modesty. Not just how we dress, but much more. This is a time when we should focus on our inner being, and not our external appearance.

We have to remember that every act that we do is before Hashem. It does not matter who sees us, it matters that we act with Shaimus before Hashem.

OA is not just a diet, where we are trying to get thin and beautiful. OA is about working on our internal self so that we do not have to eat compulsively to burry our feelings and thoughts.
