  1. Encouraging others

    What would you think is the greatest merit Moshe Rabbeinu had?

    Everything we see is based on the lens through which we are viewing it. We daven that we have "Torah glasses" to see everything as Hashem wants us to see it.

  9. The eternal flame of Lag BaOmer

    As we celebrate Lag BaOmer we feel the pain of the 45 people who died last year in the Meron tragedy and whose first yahrtzeit is today. How do we deal with these conflicting emotions? How can we celebrate and yet feel the pain of the mammoth loss?

  10. Instant Inspiration - Behar 5782

    They say that you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time. But the person we fool the most is ourselves!
