Hi – Hope you’re having a great day. … Here’s a thought that I shared at the CTN Rosh Hashanah Experience. A thought that may help “redeem” the time we spend with our computers.

Hi, Hope you’re having a great day. … As you probably know by now, I love finding lessons in every day life. Even, when possible, from sports. I saw this a few months ago and decided to save it for Rosh Hashanah! It’s about something that’s been in the news a lot this past year. […]

Hope you’re having a great day. … We know that there are many issues facing our country. I recently saw an article about a problem I was not aware of. And I’m not sure I’m aware of it now! What is it? “America ranks only 28th in Internet Connection Speeds”! We are far behind countries […]

Hi, Here’s the perfect story as we get ready for Rosh Hashanah! … Rabbi Michel Berenbaum.  A great Torah scholar. He was what is called the “Mashgiach” in a major Yeshiva.

And with G-d. … And the truth is that it’s easy to become discouraged. Because we’ve been there. Done it. … Like last Rosh […]

Hi, It’s an old saying. What does every woman want to hear? ‘I love you”! Like many old sayings? There are newer versions these days. Sometimes improved, sometimes not. Here’s a newer version. What does every woman want to hear? “I’ll clean up”! … In Jewish tradition, there is a metaphor used to describe us. […]

Hi, Hope you had a meaningful Rosh Hashanah! I would like to share something from CTN’s User Friendly Prayer Service. Maybe it can help us all make this year a more meaningful one. … The nervous pilot gets on the public address system. “Unfortunately, both of our engines our failing. I’ll try my best to […]

Hi, Labor Day has passed. And for us Jews? The real work begins! Getting ready for Rosh Hashanah by working on ourselves. Trying to improve our relationship with G-d.
