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 […]

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

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

The other day I met with a friend. He told me that 90 percent of the time when he met with me he had a great time; the other 10 percent of the time it broke his heart. He hated seeing his friend not doing the things she loved and not being the person she

Have you ever felt inspired? Has someone ever inspired you? Last night I took my son, who aspires to become a professional dancer, to see Rasta Thomas dance. Rasta Thomas has been his “idol” for some time now. He wants to dance like him…Rasta inspires him to be a great dancer. However, seeing Rasta on

We just had our house painted. As soon as the siding and deck were finished, I noticed something…something I really didn’t want to see: evidence of termites. Not only that, recently I’d seen some little black bugs running around my house, and I had sneaky suspicion they were, dare I say it?, beetles. We live

The new Hebrew month of Cheshvan began on Sunday, October 18th and, Monday, October 19th. In the Jewish calendar, a new month begins at the time of the new moon. Earlier this week I was reading an email newsletter sent to me by my friend, author Melinda Ribner. She wrote about the fact that, according

Halfway through the Days of Awe, and we – I – turn contemplate the reason I’m here at all. What is my soul’s purpose? What am I supposed to be doing with my days on the physical plane, and, more importantly, and I fulfilling my soul’s purpose? Some people have a hard time discovering their

When you travel, sometimes your bags get lost. However, no matter where you go, you can’t really lose your baggage — by which I mean your “stuff,” your issues. You can move, you can go away for a period of time, you can rearrange furniture, you can change your hairstyle and your wardrobe, but no

When I was at the Aleph Kallah last month, I took a class with Arthur Kurzweil in which he taught us 20 Kabbalistic principles he would teach his children — and has. (I’ve met his son.) One keeps returning to my mind over and over again: If you think you’ve arrived, you’re lost. To me,
