Winning the War

As it was with the first redemption, so it will be with the final redemption. Again, prayer is in exile. Again, we must not only start praying - we must pray that all of Israel joins us. Then, Hashem will again hear our prayers and redeem us, speedily and in our days, with tremendous mercy, AMEN!

A Plea to Singles

B'H

Dating with emuna is for everyone – men, women, Jew, and Noahide. The Gemara says that for Hashem, making a match is like splitting the Red Sea all over again. The dating culture in the Western world, and even the religious world, has become so warped that a veritable “shidduch crisis” has ensued. With emuna, you can beat the statistics. There are simple and yet profound rules you can follow to apply Rabbi Arush’s principles of emuna to dating, and G-d willing, enable yourself to become the person you need to be in order for Hashem to (finally) send you your true soulmate.

The Best Job on Earth

I always thought I would go back to work after I had a baby. No, even more than that: I always assumed I would want to go back to work after I had a baby.
 I have always been “The Sophisticate” (to fully understand this reference, you absolutely must read Rabbi Shalom Arush’s incredible book B’Gan HaChochma – available in Hebrew, and with Hashem’s help, soon to be available in English – right here at www.breslev.co.il). I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Southern California, with all the additional hoopla – Phi Beta Kappa, Special Achievement Awards, you name it. I had so many cords and paraphernalia around my neck, I can't hope to remember what they all meant (although I think I did tag them all appropriately after graduation so I wouldn’t need to remember – more on what motherhood has done to my incredibly organized lifestyle G-d willing in future articles).
 For as long as I can remember, people always told me that someone like me would never be happy being home with a baby. “You’re too sophisticated to be a stay at home mom” – surely, I will be so bored by all the feedings, and baby talk, and baby books, and everything. I will need to have “outside stimulation” to work and be with adults, and be able to have a “sophisticated” conversation instead of just babble. I will need the freedom and independence of working, and a much deserved break from the baby. I'm so smart, why should I waste it staying home! Really, a woman could go crazy being in the house all day! Certainly, I will be flying out the door to go to work after three months home on maternity leave!
 And of course, I believed them.
 I couldn’t have been more wrong.
