So many people don’t try something new or don’t attempt to move towards their goals out of a fear of making a mistake. They equate mistakes with failure. Yet, as Elbert Hubbard said, “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one,” and he was right. Some […]

Do you count the Omer? If you are Jewish, you may know about this practice. If you aren’t, you likely have no idea to what I’m referring. However, anyone can count the Omer, and in the process you can refine your character. The process of receiving the Torah at Mt. Sinai began 49 days before

Today marked the last day of Passover. I think of the week of Pesach like a seven day birth period during which I have the chance to be reborn free of at least one the things I feel constrain me. We are told that the Israelites left Mitzrayyim, the Hebrew word for Egypt, which all

Today, I will look at the last seder plate symbol: maror. These are the bitter herbs that represent slavery. Of course, during Passover the issue of slavery comes up big time. We discuss how the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and how Moses asked the Pharaoh to let free them. When Pharaoh said, “No,” God

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

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

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

I’ve been thinking a lot about teachers lately. In Pirkei Avot, the Ethics of Our Fathers: Chapter 1, Mishna 6, “Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Perachya says, ‘Make for yourself a teacher and acquire for yourself a friend, and judge each person favorably.” Leaving the latter part of this teaching for another time, I’ll focus on the first

The first question, and also the shortest question, God ask in the Torah has just one word. “Ayeka?” In English, this means “Where are you?” For an all-knowing God, this seems a silly question, but the query has little to do with physical location. And it’s a question not asked to locate someone physically but

Most people don’t realize that through its choice of words, the Old Testament places emphasis on goal setting. In fact, it seems that God expects us to set targets for ourselves and at least to try to hit them. In other words, we are supposed to take the time to come up with resolutions or

On Christmas Eve, I’m once again, like every year, struck by the wonderful example Jesus provides all people – Jew and non-Jew alike – of a human being who achieved full spiritual and human potential. (I wrote a short piece about this earlier today in my Examiner.com column, but I wanted to expand upon the
