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. An interview with Rabbi Dov Lior: Today’s greatest mitzvah We must work day and night as one nation to continue the ingathering, to continue the rebuilding, to continue all together in the battle to safeguard our inheritance from enemies without and within, striving alongside Hashem for the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, may it be soon https://www.israelnationalnews... Why Your US Map Is Missing These 12 States Finding meaning in dark times: A Viktor Frankl exhibition in Tel Aviv A Tel Aviv exhibition brings Viktor Frankl’s ideas to life, exploring how meaning can be found even in times of crisis and suffering. On a visit to Vienna almost exactly a year ago, Janet Belleli Goodvach found herself transfixed by displays in a small museum, experiencing what felt like an enormously powerful – and sorely needed – therapy session. Like her fellow Israelis, Goodvach was carrying the burden of the then-ongoing Israel-Hamas War, with the pain of many funerals and soldier injuries, hostages still being held, families displaced, a son in the army, and a hurting nation. In Vienna, she also carried the scar of the murder by the Nazis of her Viennese great-grandparents. But what she saw at the Viktor Frankl Museum – housed in Frankl’s apartment in Vienna, where he had lived from his return after the war in 1945 until his death at age 92 in 1997 – gave her strength and hope through Frankl’s approach to suffering and challenges. A cornerstone were Frankl’s words writ large in the museum, which kept spooling through her mind: “The one thing you cannot take away from me is my freedom to choose how I will respond to what you do to me.” Goodvach persisted in turning her vision into reality, and her passion project of the past year has culminated in L’Chaim, an exhibition of Viktor Frankl’s ideas, which runs until the end of May in Tel Aviv’s Shalom Tower Library. https://www.jpost.com/israel-n...
