Happy New Month- Parshas Bo
Imagine that you were G-d (remain calm - it’s only hypothetical!) and you were issuing your first decree, what would it be? No… not a raise for yourself! Yes, it’s true, creating does take some energy; but you have all the money in the world - YOU created it, so that’s not really necessary. So […]

Living and Dying for a Goal- Parshas Bechukosai
The concept of reward and punishment is part and parcel of life. From the moment we’re old enough to understand it, we’re faced with choices.
