The little Jew said, “I think I can, I think I can”

I personally do not label myself since my teaching position is better left open so I don’t push people to be, “What I consider the only way”. Many people from outside the USA are now finding themselves drawn to Breslov. I wanted to make it clear without going into details but the Na Nach movement of [...]

In our generation, since we are much more weaker, we might want to aim differently. Instead of constantly failing to make those neccisary large steps in teshuvah. When you see your are constantly failing, set your goals lower and do teshuva in smaller increments. Many small goals will eventually lead to a complete teshuva.

It isn’t the first time I have heard the Christian holiday songs in Israel but why are my religious neighbors playing this music? Some have it on their keyboards while others have this carols on their cell phones. The simply don’t know that the music is from not only non-Jewish resources. Not to mention it [...]

I think us dads know that should we be found it, should our wives know we secretly give sugar treats to the kids, we could be finished. But how else are we supposed to make up for the unfair advantage the women has over the kids. You know, it breaks our hearts every time one [...]

Chazzanut from the other world, Mamish. I have just listened to this for the 7th time in a row. I think one more time and I will burst into tears.

Well, I have about 10 videos waiting to be edited but I am currently writing Tefillin. If anyone is looking for a pair, let me know. They are written specially according to the Arizal Kabbalistic Methods. Soferous Scribe Site

It is very difficult to be a scribe in the North of Israel as there are [...]

I am writing some tefillin in honor of Chanukah. I really like writing and if it wasn’t for all the time I spend in kiruv, I would probably write all day. In the middle of the night I had noticed I made a raish a drop small so the halacha teaches to show it to [...]

Who can guess how many times I can listen to this song over and over again during one day?

I just finished a mezuzah which means I now need new klaf to continue writing. There are two stores in Tzfat that sell klaf but a true artist buys his klaf direct from the company in full sheets from piles of parchment. This means a drive to Jerusalem. Parchment can cost the script as much [...]

Over the years, I have noticed with my own relationships to many Rabbis and from the relationship I have with my students, the tendency to blame the Rabbi. A lot of thoughts run through a persons mind when they are confused. Some being, the Rabbi doesn’t make time for me, he doesn’t care, doesn’t appreciate [...]

I am on such a low madrega, why do I attempt to teach Torah again?

G-d gave Noah and all his descendants (B’nei Noach or “children of Noah”) seven commandments to follow.

Prohibition of idolatry

Prohibition of blasphemy

Prohibition of murder

Prohibition of theft

Prohibition of illicit relations

Prohibition of eating live meat

Prohibition of failing to establish courts of justice

Teaching the world and being a leader to the B’nei Noach’s is an untouched and important area [...]

Every Rebbe has a gabi who connects you on the phone or in person to the Rebbe. Some people are deterred by the Gabi as they see him as an in between who at times will refuse time with the Rebbe. But when you look a little deeper into his plot, you see he is [...]

For myself: To be able to teach Torah full time, writing sefarim and doing Videos. Not needing to worry about editing either but having others do this for me so I can teach full time. My family to be healthy and do well in school. To make wholesome friendships with others that are true and [...]

Someone wrote me if I worry about Madadra (code name for famous pop singer) and friends coming to Tzfat for Rosh Hashanah. Well, it doesn’t really deserve my second thought, first or last. It is like a bunch of children who play with fire, eventually, they learn their lesson and do something else. The Arizal [...]
