Accept the world at its face value and it won't let you move forward. Every impulse must be bridled, every step carefully balanced  -and even then, for every step forward, you fall back two. You are enslaved within an Egypt but it is of your own making, so you have the key to get out! Here is your route of escape: Meditate deeply upon the inner soul of the world; struggle to see the vision described by our teachers. Part the murky waters of a coarse, material world; enter the reality that lies beneath it; let that be your path from bondage. Grasp that inner vision and it will flow outward through the heart to the conscious self, down to the heel that steps upon the earth, until all these, as well, become mind. Your eyes are now open, your heart is awake, your hands themselves know what to grab and what to avoid, as your feet know where to walk. In the struggle for deeper vision, life becomes effortless. You are free.  Menachem Mendel Bl

Modern society has had an impact upon the Jewish people: today we have yet another son. The son who does not even attend a seder. Yes, it is true. There are many Jews out there who are not going to attend a seder this Passover. They can be put into three basic categories: 1) They have no place to attend. 2) They do not care to attend. 3) They do not know of Passover or its seder. I challenge you to find the language and open heart to invite them in and make the passover seder the most edifying and

Test Your Brain This is really cool.  Count every "F" in the following text: FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.....  (SEE BELOW) HOW MANY 'F's? Count them again.      WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.. READ IT AGAIN ! Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 'F's before you scroll down. The reasoning behind this is further down.     The brain cannot process "OF". F INISHED F ILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OFSCIENTI F IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OFYEARS.....  Incredible or what?  Anyone who counts all 6 'F's on the first go is a genius. " Three is normal,four is quite rare. Oy vey...
