I apologize in advance for the slight deviation in this posting from my standard writing style, in terms of form and content. However, I have a few thoughts which I need to get off my chest, so I hope you’ll indulge me. The recent demise of the infamous ‘Atheist’, Christopher Hitchens, who partied hard and died [...]

A popular Ad/Commercial playing nowadays in the secular media is from a well-known Bank that touts the benefits of owning their credit card and all of the wonderful products and services you can purchase with it; their hook tag line is the question, “What’s in Your Wallet”. It’s certainly a catchy phrase designed to increase [...]
Hashem Needs To Hear From Us

Hakadosh Baruch Hu set us up in a way that demands that we seek him out and beseech him for that which we need. Even though Hashem knows and understands the needs of each and every individual (and similarly ‘hears the words of our hearts’), he suppresses his knowledge (in a manner of speaking) so as to [...]

I thought of a Chiddush this morning during Shacharis. One of our biggest struggles in gaining an appreciation for our davening, is the thought that Hashem doesn’t care about our isolated Tefilos. We sometimes believe that we are simply “too bad” and that Hashem has forsaken us Chas V’shalom. We fail to realize the power [...]
