Emuna Therapy

Ready, Set, Married!

You won't want to miss this amazing story about the power of Belief. I heard it from my good friend Rav Dror Moshe Coussoto.

 

Maynard is about to take his entrance examination for medical school. He asked me how much time he should put into studying for it compared to his Torah studying. You can read my answer to Maynard in this week's copy of our Shabbos Parsha newsletter: Download CSC NL Week 12 Vayechi

Have a great Shabbos!

Certainty And Uncertainty

Is it true that certainty is a deep-seated psychological need? Or has it just become popular to think it is in a culture of "seeing is believing" - a culture that is devoid of Faith?

Psychology does not differentiate between the mind of one with Faith and one without Faith - this leads to faulty conclusions - for the two brains are not alike. The person of Faith thrives on uncertainty, he craves the mysterious and unknown. For him it is the unknown that stimulates him and gives his life meaning.  It is his freedom to choose Faith not "certainty" that fills him with the vitality of drawing ever-closer to his G-d. See more in The Firmest Foundation.

Judge Yourself Well

When we decide to look for the good in ourselves and our current situation with the same zeal that we look for quality in the four species, we will experience true closeness to G-d and the greatest happiness possible.

Ask Dr. Zev

By Dr. Zev Ballen

I confess that it was me who planned this lesson, but it was not me who delivered it - Hashem spoke through me and I hardly remember what I said. I couldn't do this again if I tried.

I am forever grateful to Hashem for the seminal teachings of my beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Arush. Based on Rabbi Arush's teachings, even a simple person can transcend his natural abilities by millions of light years. Now it's my gift to you - all I ask is that you share this with your friends.

 

My Rebbe's Message

This is the story of my beloved Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Arush, and the awesome wonders that G-d is enabling him to accomplish in the world. The ‘Chut Shel Chessed’ (a ‘Thread of Kindness’) Torah Institutions are spreading my Rebbe's message of peace, love and closeness to G-D to all of mankind.

Sit back and enjoy this one - it's really special.
