Why All the Blessings?

Monday Jan 15, 2024

Monday Jan 15, 2024

We say over one hundred blessings every day. There's a blessing for waking up in the morning. We recite another blessing before going to sleep at night. Everything we eat and drink requires a blessing. Then, there are additional blessings when we finish eating. After answering the call of nature, there is a required blessing. We haven't yet scratched the surface. What's the purpose of so many blessings?

In our concluding lesson of Torah 2, we learn the connection between the purity of speech and personal happiness. Both are connected to the Sabbath and to the notion of gratitude. We also learn how to attain all four levels of upright speech.

My Rock: Psalm 18

Wednesday Jan 10, 2024

Wednesday Jan 10, 2024

King David had one main preparation for battle – Psalm 18. And, when the battle was over, he had one mode of debriefing – Psalm 18. In fact, Psalm 18 was his secret weapon. It worked for King David and it can work for all of us.

Gratitude is one of the most vital - if not the most vital - character trait a person could have. It's the key to happiness and to faith. So much so, that the Almighty personally taught Moses how very profound gratitude is. We see this lesson in this week's Torah portion, Va'era.

Emuna in the Dark

Monday Jan 08, 2024

When we say the "Shema" prayer - our declaration of faith in Hashem, we cover our eyes. But why? What's the significance? Since we're not robots, we should understand what we're doing and why. Let's therefore get some answers...

Expressing gratitude reveals the light of truth, for gratitude is truth. Going a step further, Rebbe Nachman teaches us that truth perfects our speech. In that respect, gratitude leads to perfect speech.

The Holy Mountain: Psalms 14-17

Wednesday Dec 27, 2023

What do you do when your heart is breaking? How do you cope when you feel all alone and no one understands what you're up against? Pick up King David's Psalms. King David dealt with the same challenges you deal with now. He has the right words for you, especially in Psalms 14 – 17.

Thursday Dec 21, 2023

We all know that when a person encounters danger, his or her heart pounds. One can easily identify physical parameters of the cardiovascular system, such as pulse and blood pressure. But spiritually, what's going on inside the heart and the blood stream? Rebbe Nachman explains…

Vanished Nations: Psalms 10-13

Wednesday Dec 20, 2023

Wednesday Dec 20, 2023

The four highly dramatic Psalms 10, 11, 12 and 13 were King David's cries from the depth of his soul. He felt all alone. He couldn't understand why the evil people were succeeding on all sides and the righteous were downtrodden. His heart ached at the success of the tyrants at the expense of the meek and the helpless. He couldn't understand why Hashem seemed to be closing a blind eye to evil, crime and blasphemy. Then, when all seems lost, King David makes his comback. We can all relate to these four Psalms. Reciting them is a ticket to salvation.

Thursday Dec 14, 2023

Rebbe Nachman teaches that a people are capable of uplifting themselves from the pits of depression with no outside help. What's more, they can even taste paradise. We learn today how to bask in the light of the World to Come already in this world. This is a level of happiness that no one can attain by material means. It's attainable too.

The Baby’s Prayer: Psalms 7 - 9

Wednesday Dec 13, 2023

Wednesday Dec 13, 2023

King David reveals deep secrets of the soul in the Book of Psalms. In today's lesson, we learn how unborn babies and newborn babies have the ability to communicate with the Almighty in prayer. These prayers are so powerful that they generate Divine salvation. As in every other aspect of emuna, we must put logic and intellect aside. Emuna defies logic.

Why Aren’t You Happy?

Monday Dec 11, 2023

Chanukah is a time of gratitude. It's also one of the best opportunities for soul-searching and self-assessment. Sitting by the flickering candles of holiness, we open a window to our souls. Let's look inside and ask ourselves why we're not happy...
