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

I was trying to reach a Rebbe to discuss some matters last night. I was told to call back later so I called from the holy Tzaddiks grave, Rabbi Meir Baal Hanais but missed the Rebbe again. I recalled the time when I was in Meron and asking for a Bracha from a Rebbe who [...]

With all the vast financial needs to continue our Jewish outreach projects, the need of replacement equipment has taken second fiddle. Please pray for us to have new and good equipment to work with. Most caves don’t have good acoustics and there are sounds from nature & cars that interfere. There also appears to be [...]

Once when Reb Chaim Vital returned to the Arizal without his desired spiritual results, the Ari told him to go again the next night and do the same thing over. This is the path I followed tonight, I returned to Rebbe Meir Baal Hanais, the Rambam and others. I added on this venture the holy [...]

It isn’t easy for me not to share my opinion on the current campaign for US President. You have come here for Torah and to be uplifted, not to hear me say that picking Obama is like picking a teenager to become President so therefore, I won’t say it. You will just have to guess [...]

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 [...]

Tonight I drove to Tiberias where I went to Rebbe Meir Baal Haness, Rambam, Rabbi Yochanan, Rav Asi, Rav Ami, Rav Horkenas, the Ramchal, Rabbi Akiva and great Rabbis. There graves were uninhabited, that is by other worldly humans. It is here I prayed for the US econnomy and our troubled times. For those that [...]

There are many sources in Judaism speaking about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. As an experiment, I thought I would try to take this to an extreme, at least compared to my regular routines. For 8months, I joined the gym, exercising, swimming and lifting weights. I wanted to know if I grounded myself in [...]

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 [...]

Every year we have a little mousy that comes to visit our home. It becomes a family project to catch it with a bucket and let it go. This week we had a new furry creature visiting us. As with all animals in Israel, we never underestimate its intelligence. Yes we managed with difficult to [...]

There was once a young couple who got engaged. As was tradition in the family, the grandmother gave the bride an expensive ring. Soon after their marriage, the bride lost the ring while taking a walk along the beach. The entire family was devastated and she lost their respect. Whenever they saw her, if they [...]

Perek Shira is a prayer which encompasses all the songs of the animals. You might ask, what are the animals singing about and why should we repeat these words? The animals are singing praises of Hashem with absolute sincerity. By repeating these praises of Hashem as a whole, a person is formulating a prayer which [...]

(Disclaimer: This is a R.M pun, joke) Some of you are chassidim of Breslov, Chabad, Satmar, Bobov, Alexander and others. I am running now a campain to buy chassidim and their souls. That is right, just name your price and we will take the cheapest 1,000 chassidim from other branches and make them Reb Moshe Chassidim. [...]

I just uploaded a second video this week called Tzaddik Yesod. It can be found on www.torahvideo.com There is another video from amukah about shidduchim and emunah which I hope to edit soon. Still need some prayers my way so I can continue my Jewish outreach. It was a slow week with donations and we worked [...]

A person has to stand up to protect their soul and not just pretend they are not affected by their surroundings. When I was a kid, other neighborhood children knew that they couldn’t curse in front of me. It was not something I liked and many times they apologised for it or thought twice. This [...]

There is a level of purity, Yesod which allows a person to not take in that which is impure. The mind simply doesn’t recognize or take in that which doesn’t draw it close to Hashem. For instance, someone could be looking at a scene with multiple items in the background, one of which is a [...]
