Mastering anger | Parsha with the Chief: Matot-Masei

Anger is never isolated — it draws strength from across our inner world. By understanding its true nature, we begin to reclaim control, heal relationships, and grow in ways that truly matter. In this talk, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explores the root of anger through the lens of this week’s parsha Matot-Masei, and the teachings of Pirkei Avot. He shows how it is never isolated. Anger is one of the most powerful — and most dangerous — forces in the human heart. Left unchecked, it can fracture relationships, destroy inner peace, and block us from becoming who we are meant to be. But where does anger come from? What are its roots? And how do we understand and overcome it, rather than suppress it? Topics covered:  The psychology and character roots of anger  How Judaism views anger as a spiritual challenge  Tools for overcoming destructive emotions  How to build inner peace, self-awareness, and personal greatness 📖 Based on Parshat Matot-Masei  🎙️ Part of the Parsha with the Chief series #JewishWisdom #EmotionalGrowth #ParshaWithTheChief #OvercomingAnger #TorahInsights #InnerPeace #PirkeiAvot #PersonalGrowth #JewishLeadership
