Have you ever felt like you’ve been trying your hardest to do the “right thing” or to perform a “mitzvah” (good deed), but you sense that something just isn’t right? Have you ever been focused on doing good but found that something about your actions felt so wrong? Maybe you weren’t fulfilling your soul’s purpose. …

Today I’ve been mulling over creation and how the world we live in continues to exist. A fellow Examiner columnist had written an article about how scientists believe the world could be a holographic image. In other words, they believe we live in a gigantic image created by a laser. So, I wrote a column …

I think of myself as a pretty grateful person. Most of the people I know consider me someone fairly focused upon gratitude. So, imagine my dismay when a friend called me onto the carpet for being…well…ungrateful. Ack! I was horrified. How could that be, I wondered? It seemed that I hadn’t said I was grateful …
As I watched the Super Bowl half-time show I considered whether or not Roger Daltrey and The Who weren’t singing to people all over the United States and asking them an extremely important question: Who are you? Now I’m not a big Who fan. (I’m also not a football fan, but my son and husband …
After my last post which asked a litany of questions related to fulfilling your soul’s purpose, a friend sent me a note on Facebook (I actually wish people would leave comment here instead…hint, hint!), asking, “And how do you see a person ‘learning’ what their soul purpose is?” Great question! Here’s the answer, which involves …
What will it take for you to fulfill your soul’s purpose? Does God’s hand have to come down and push you towards the work you are meant to do? Does God have to hit you over the head with an opportunity? Does the One to whom you soul always is connected have to yell loudly …

Today, after writing my most recent Jewish Issues Examiner column, I had to spend some time really considering how much I have allowed myself to become assimilated into secular culture. You see, my column was inspired by a JTA story I read about a Chabad rabbi in Russia trying to bring assimilated Jews there back …
I’m having the hardest time getting my friend Dalana Castrell’s Jewish-themed artwork to post to my previous blog post. So, I thought I’d post a video of her speaking about her artwork-unfortunately not her Jewish-themed artwork-on PBS. This way you can get a sense of who she is. Dalana also makes crystal jewelry that looks …
Over a decade ago my husband became a Jew by Choice, which means he converted to Judaism. However, at the time, I vaguely remember someone-maybe the rabbi-telling me that non-Jews don’t really “convert” to Judaism. They actually just make an “affirmation of” Judaism. My friend Reb Yitzi Miller told me basically the same thing the …
Ah, it’s my favorite Shabbat–the Shabbat when Jews all over the world read the portion in the Old Testament, or Torah, called Beshalach. In this section of Exodus (13:17-17:16) the Israelites are pursued by the Egyptians and trapped at the Red Sea, until the sea parts and they travel to safety on the other side. …
I’ve been trying to listen to my intuition lately. I know I have some intuitive–I hesitate to call them psychic–abilities. I think they’ve scared me, so I haven’t really pursued them (tried to enhance them) in the last few years. However, I decided this year I’d really like to open to my “sixth sense,” if …
Do you think your prayers fall on deaf ears? Do you pray and pray and pray, all the while thinking that no one hears your words? Do you look around and see that nothing changes despite your prayers? Do you wonder why you can’t hear God responding to your requests? Today, get really quiet. Listen …
