It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully and in my sleep. Not screaming and wailing like his passengers. So my congregant came over to me after my sermon and complimented me… I think, saying, "Rabbi, your words today were just like the peace and love of Hashem". "Thank you," I responded, "Why do you say that?" He explained, "Because the peace of Hashem is beyond all understanding, and the love of Hashem goes on forever."
