Tonight many Jews around the world will participate in the observance Passover. They will take part in a first night seder, or service, that commemorates the Israelites freedom from slavery in Egypt. (The word “seder” actually means “order”; the service has a specific order.) I see the seder—actually the whole week of Passover—as a time …

Have you ever had one of those days–or several days–when you feel so busy and stressed that you don’t think you can take a moment to breathe? And the more stressed you get, the worse your day gets? As your stress level goes up, your success rate plummets. Everything just seems to go wrong. Well, …

Every day I wake up, come upstairs to my office, sit down in front of my computer, and begin working. Sometimes I manage only to accomplish a few minutes of time spent on my own projects. Other days, I spend many hours working towards my personal goals. Each day, however, my mind turns periodically from …

My husband watched my daughter walk by a group of boys today after a swim meet. She had gotten dressed for a dance at school and was wearing a short skirt and a bright red top with bright red pumps. One of the boys watched her walk by and asked the other boys, “Who’s that?” …
Each year as Passover approaches I’m given reason to consider my fears and how I deal with them. I do this because I remember learning about how fearful the Children of Israel felt at the shore of the Red Sea as the Egyptians approached. I was at an event near my home in Silicon Valley …
I gave a talk this past week to 55 people. Most people gave me good reviews; a friend said he didn’t think I shared my true self or my passion.He wanted me to do a better job of revealing myself to the audience. He felt disappointed that they didn’t get to know “me.” Two days …
Years ago I read the book The Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz. I haven’t thought about the basic concept embedded in the book’s title in many years. Today, however, I gave in to that concept. I’ve been fighting…resisting…doing anything but what I thought I needed to do. “I have work,” I have thought. …
Today another young man in my children’s school took his life. (This is not the first, and it is the second that my daughter has known well.) Some people on Facebook were commenting on this tragedy…we were trying to understand why children feel the need to take their lives. There never seems a good reason. …
I’m one of those people who is perpetually late. I’m usually not enormously late…just about 10 minute or so. I don’t plan on being late. I just am…late. Even now, I really should be out taking a bike ride before the sun starts to go down. I don’t have to meet anyone or anything like …
About a month ago I went to see a medium. I asked if my father, who died when I was seven, served as one of my spirit guides. I asked if a friend of mine who passed away 17 years ago guided me as well. I was told both of them were with me all …
I’ve written about fear a lot, however, when a magnitude 8.8 earthquake hits somewhere in the world, in this case in Chile, it brings up some fear in me. You see, I live in California. My home sits between two fault lines. The earthquake in Haiti brought up some fear, too. So do the little …
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. This has nothing to do with Judaism or any particular religion. However, I think that almost every spiritual or religious tradition has a teaching about being led by God or feeling guided. I think being in the flow is a bit like feeling God’s hand pushing …
