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, I can’t believe it. It’s almost Rosh Hashanah! A time for self-examination. A time to step back. And see where we need to improve. In our relationships with other people. 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, More on “cleaning up our act”. “Lashon Harah. Gossip”. You have heard it from me many times. In Jewish tradition, it’s one of the worst things we can do. We’re even told that it weakens the power of our prayers. Because the tongue used to hurt other people? G-d doesn’t want to hear from […]

Hi, Here’s a Rosh Hashanah thought. There’s challah dipped in honey. Apple and honey. And there’s also a custom to eat a pomegranate. Before eating it, we say a prayer, “May it be G-d’s will that our merits are as plentiful as the seeds of a pomegranate.” We seem to be asking G-d to give […]
