Here's how a small segment of the cogent "Nishmas" prayer helps us defeat worry and depression while overcoming that nagging acute problem that each of us has.

Here's a simple plan that anyone can do to dramatically improve health and well-being. It addresses the needs of both body and soul.

The king and queen were childless and they yearned for a son. They summoned a secret tzaddik to pray for them. The tzaddik promised that they would have a son, made exclusively of rare jewels. We are all looking forward to seeing this prince...

Even though Moshiach (the Messiah) has not yet come, we eagerly anticipate his arrival. The advent of the Messianic era includes the Geula, the full redemption of our people, the ingathering of the exiles to our holy homeland of Israel and the rebuilding of our Holy Temple in Jerusalem. We believe that this can happen at any moment…

Did you ever wonder why people are willing to exert themselves so much to climb mountains? Your soul wants to do the same thing, but you don't need a Mount Everest to gain a magnificent view of the world and of yourself. In Elul, Hashem is especially close to you...

This tale is the key to understanding our own lives. Rebbe Nachman shows us our Divine souls, "the King's son", which is none other than a metaphor for that very part of us that is a spark of the Almighty. Why are we not aware of this? "The son of the maidservant," the body, gets in the way. Who is that midwife who exchanged the children at birth? Look in the mirror…

Hashem grants mankind the free will to do good or evil, for there can be no concept of reward and punishment outside the context of free choice. Therefore, there cannot be the slightest coercion in either direction. Simply speaking, it's your choice.

The Torah tells us that Sarah lived to the age of 127 (Genesis 23:1). Rashi, our foremost biblical commentator explains that they were all equally good years. How could that be true? Few women in history had a more difficult and apparently miserable life that our Matriarch Sarah. Her life was a never-ending saga of trials and tribulations...

Today's podcast is not only inspiring, but it gets quite a bit done in 6 minutes, as follows:
1. Takes the confusion out of our task in Elul;
2. Provides simple but effective preparation for Rosh Hashanah;
3. Guarantees good health and adequate income.
Who can refuse such a deal? Not only does it not cost you a cent, but you may download this mp3 and share it with as many people as you like, courtesy of Emuna Beams and our wonderful supporters who, with Hashem's loving help, make this happen.

Let's not be fooled when we see ourselves surrounded by injustice and falsehood. This is none other than a correction of the world and our souls in particular. Ultimately, truth always prevails so don't despair. This tale is the key to understanding our own lives.  Today's lesson reviews part 1 and presents the completion of the story. 

This is the belief in Hashem's omniscience. Since His Divine Direction determines everything, no thought, utterance or occurrence in the universe is unknown to Him. Learn all about the Divine GPS...

A good coach, whether in sports or in spirituality, can tame a tiger easier than he can motivate a pussycat. Taped in a classroom at a remedial school, I told these wonderful teenage "tigers" that the Creator gave them the power to attain greatness. If they haven't yet done that, it's not because they lack talent and ability; it's simply because they haven't yet channeled your power in the right direction. Today's podcast is a must-hear, not only for young people wih disciplinary issues but for all of us to realize our full potential.
