Do Your Job: Avoid Guilt, Keep Striving | Rav Dovid Gottlieb on Rav Wolbe (Alei Shur)

What if the most “frum” thing you can do at work… is simply doing your job well? And what if some “extra frum” choices can actually be the wrong move? In this episode of Shtark Tank, I’m joined by Rav Dovid Gottlieb for a practical, strong conversation based on a powerful piece from Rav Shlomo Wolbe in Alei Shur. (The short chapter can be found in Alei Shur vol. I pp. 269-271) Soon after we start, we connect these ideas to a hot topic right now: religious soldiers in the IDF—and the tension of doing something big and right, while still missing minyan, learning, and Yom Tov moments. The takeaway applies to soldiers and working Bnei Torah: avoid guilt, stay honest about what you’re missing, and keep striving to grow.
