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

Children are lucky today to go through the entire school system & even have 1 or 2 really good teachers that show them love for Torah, Crafts, Art, etc… How sad. In the old days, a teacher would remain with the children for many years, taking an interest in everything about them & their personal [...]

Parents many times talk in front of their kids not realizing that they are little sponges soaking everything up. Kids don’t need to know about Wars and Politics. They need to know that life is about love and respect. There is plenty of time to learn that life is not a rose garden.

A few years ago I started searching online for relatives and I found a bit of information. Even last year I had done a search to figure out our genealogy but didn’t get to far. Today things are different and that is why I am sharing this with you. There is an enormous amount of [...]

As many of you know, I have written many sefarim, books which are available from online. It is interesting to note that I actually wrote a photography book when I was 18 and then stopped about 3/4 of the way. I don’t think i will ever show this to anyone. Then when I was about [...]

My wife was encouraging me to take a trip to Tiberias tonight to relax. I gave her a look and said, “without my video Camera (since it is broken). How do I do that? I don’t take trips like that. What would I do with myself.” You know my friends, my first book as a [...]

Free Videos by Reb Moshe, TorahVideo.comilovetorah.com I just got an email from a new cousin that found the site and is related to me. He submitted this video for everyone to see.

It is important when doing mitzvos in front of our families and children to do so with extra enthusiasm. The kids should see us getting into the shabbos suidos, singing with gusto and taste our love for Hashem. This really is the way to give over our Jewish tradition. My father always made sure to [...]

Tonight I have a bit of a migrain so I have been stuck in bed remembering old times and struggles. I think if I shared some of it, nobody would believe me. It wasn’t an easy life being one of the few Jews in my city. Of course, we were the only ones who lived [...]

Last night I was reminiscing on old times. I went on youtube and searched for my old town Walkersville, Maryland, where I grew up. I was trying to find videos of some of the old streams I would immerse in for the mikvah, ritural purity bath. The places I would go to do hisbodidus, to [...]

My father as a teen worked for Radio City Music Hall and CBS. His music teacher thought he was a genius as he not only played music by ear but he had perfect pitch. I remember him once tuning a friends piano by ear. It was a sad thing for my family when we gave [...]

Some called him the Baltimore Rebbe, HaRav Amrom Taub zt”l passed away this week. Here is a story of how I got a special glimpse into this Tzaddik’s life. It was Thursday night, the day before Shabbos and I wanted a special experience to remember. I picked up the phone and called the Rabbi’s house [...]

Over the years, I reflected upon my upbringing and how it brought me to learn Ahavas Yisrael, love for my fellow Jew. Our Rabbi’s tell us, this is the foundation of the entire Torah. Since I grew up in an area devoid of any Jews, I pondered how I learnt this important lesson and placed [...]

I miss my mother. I haven’t seen her in almost two years now. Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will you come visit soon?

In the old days, a Rebbe in cheder meant that a teacher of children understood that this was not a one year commitment to the child but rather, he would always be there for the child. A Rebbe meant more then just a one year, Hello, goodbye… I taught you… go find yourself a new [...]

I have heard of so many stories of children who were hit, verbally abused and tormented by their teachers.

Looking back, I see that half of these teachers naturally quit on their own, realizing chinuch wasn’t for them, while the other half, still go on in their ways.

Who picked these teachers for our kids? How [...]
