Episode 13
Creating a Life of Legacy
Life can be viewed as a journey with many different paths. What legacy will you leave behind? In this episode, Rabbi Cohen talks about how legacy is not just about what we leave behind when we die, but also about how we live our lives every day. By living our lives with intention and purpose, we can create legacies that will last long after we are gone. Thanks for tuning in.
