Like most Jews, this week I observed the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. This is the time of the year when we begin thinking about how we behaved for the last twelve months and participate in the process of atoning for any wrong doings or wrong behavior. I see this as a chance for introspection and […]

Every day I remind myself that I’m supposed to exercise. I need to build muscle and gain bone mass. After all, I’m approaching 55, and I need to take good care of my body. It’s my temple, right? Yet, I need to build muscle on the inside, too. I was reminded of this last week

Lately I’ve been stretched to my max. I have no one to blame but myself. I’ve created numerous deadlines for myself and challenges—opportunities—all within a very short amount of time. Sometimes the stretching doesn’t feel so good. Like a teenager with growth pains, I can feel myself aching from the effort. But I know it’s

Have you ever thought about why you are who you are right now, and how you will create who you will be in the future? When I ask most people what makes them who they are right now, they respond, “My past experiences. My education. My environment. My genetics.” These are things that either happened

Once you forgive, your anger will dissipate…and you’ll change–not only from feeling angry to feeling more peaceful but into someone a bit different. Your heart

Each year during the Passover holiday Jews tell the story of how the Pharaoh in Egypt enslaved the Israelites. Sometimes we talk about what modern day pharaohs exist in the world. I, however, think most of us live with personal pharaohs every day–those in our minds. I know I struggle with the chains put on

Many of us spend a lot of time working on ourselves. We go to counseling. We take human potential, personal growth and self-improvement classes. We read books on these subjects as well. We analyze our relationships and ourselves. We exercise. We try to eat right. We journal. We meditate. We try new spiritual practices. We

Lately I’ve been feeling stuck. I want to be unstuck. Ever been there? I’ve tried prayer. I talked to God. I cried to God. I pleaded with God. I tried counseling. And I got really honest with myself and with others, baring my deepest feelings. Today in the car I decided to follow Rebbe Nachman

We all do a lot of complaining about what we don’t have, don’t like, haven’t achieved,wish were different, and believe someone or something has done to us. How often do you really get honest with yourselves and admit your part in actually creating these situations? How often do you take responsibility for your actions or

I’ve known about the concept called “mirroring” for a long time. I used to teach a class on it. However, I haven’t applied it to my own life in a long time…until recently. What a surprise I got when I looked closely in the mirror. Now, the mirror about which I’m speaking is not the
