Look around you! Everything is Hashem’s word. There is nothing else. Every challenge is being sent to you by Hashem. We are Jews. We don’t believe in Dualism. We don’t believe in two powers. We don’t believe that the Yetzer Hara is a loose gun. Nothing has any independent power.

In the middle of Chol HaMoed, I got an email from YouTube telling me that they had removed one of my videos from their site. What was it that they objected to? This is the answer.

Like a Hurricane – The OHRchestra

Sometimes we feel we can never escape our lower selves. But we must always remember we can rise up to the skies - like a hurricane! Lyrics: LIKE A HURRICANE –Robert Levinsky and Yaakov Asher Sinclair ©1978/2018 A little lower than the Angels You placed Man, With all the power to be a partner in Your great plan. A heart that’s filled with lust and anger betrays the soul, We can reach a little higher, our wings unfold. Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don’t look down! We left the ground. Borne on wings of prayer. The world is filled with much confusion near the eye of the storm, So much bloff - so much illusion – the heart is torn. Times a’changing ever faster – the End is near, When all the world will seek the Master. Rejoice in fear! Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don’t look down! We left the ground. Borne on wings of prayer. Were I to take the wings of dawn to the distant West, Also there Your Hand would guide me, Your Right Hand to my quest. Like a Hurricane – reaching for the sky where angels fear to fly, Like a Hurricane - - they fall away - our feet of clay Like a Hurricane – Don’t look down! We left the ground, Fighting for King and Country. Like a Hurricane –

Pesach With Maxwell House

Pesach With Maxwell House

In 1932, Maxwell House put out a Pesach Haggadah as a marketing promotion. It’s been continuously in print since then. They’ve printed over 50 million copies. Pesach is the most observed of all the Jewish festivals. Even whenJews become secular, and all the other festivals fall by the way, Pesach still hangs in there. Why is that? What is it about Pesach that is so deeply rooted in the Jewish psyche? Chag Kasher v'Sameach!

Wiggle Room! – Vayakhel

These are the things that Hashem commanded to do them:” (35:1) Here's a parable drawn from motorcycles to illustrate the concept of ‘bidieved’ - an untranslatable word usually translated as ‘after the fact.’ A mitzva has an ideal – lechatchila – way to be performed, but there is also a degree of latitude that, while not ideal, will still cause the mitzva to have its effect. That's 'bidieved.' But what's that got to do with motorcycles?
