A relationship with the Creator is possible

A relationship with the Creator is possible

because connection happens through mirroring. His essence is unconditional love, and you reflect that love through the way you act. But before you can channel love, you have to first feel awe. Awe relaxes the nervous system, opens your emotions, and gives you enough space to recognize something greater than fear. Without awe, love collapses […]

Some people don’t hate the Jewish people because of ideas,

Some people don’t hate the Jewish people because of ideas,

they hate because of trauma. Trauma takes a natural human sadness (the sadness of realizing we can’t have every mission) and twists it into something darker: “If I can’t have that role, I’ll resent the ones who do.” Healthy people feel that sadness and grow from it, they turn it into awe, relationship. Trauma blocks […]

From our perspective, we have free choice.

From our perspective, we have free choice.

We feel the struggle. We feel the options. We feel the responsibility to choose good. But from G-d’s perspective? There is no “unknown” for Him to wait and see. His knowing is the energy that creates the moment in which you choose. Not afterwards. Not as a prediction. Right now, His knowledge is the power […]

Gratitude isn’t positive thinking.

Gratitude isn’t positive thinking.

It’s faith in action. It’s saying: “Even in a world I don’t fully understand, I trust there is meaning here, I trust there is goodness here, and I’m choosing to notice it.” Gratitude sharpens the eyes of faith.

If you think King David “sinned,”

If you think King David “sinned,”

the Talmud says you’re mistaken. Why? Because the point of the story with Batsheva isn’t failure, it’s how a person comes back from a moment that feels like failure. it was recorded to teach us something about love, repair, and what it means to come back to G-d after you’ve broken something. King David didn’t […]

When you attach an image to the Creator,

When you attach an image to the Creator,

you’re not getting “closer”… you’re actually shrinking what is Infinite. And when you shrink the Infinite, you feel less wonder. Less curiosity. Less mystery pulling you forward. But wonder is an ingredient for awe. Awe doesn’t appear in a mind that already thinks it “knows.” Awe grows where curiosity is alive. So when your wonder […]

Every soul walks toward truth from a different angle.

Every soul walks toward truth from a different angle.

Some through questions, some through wonder, some through struggle, some through stillness. But beneath all the different paths, the core is the same: A human being wants to know G-d. Not the same thoughts, not the same language, not the same ideas, but the same longing. The same pull toward something infinite, the same desire […]

A soul can wander the universe.

A soul can wander the universe.

It can feel endless awe, gratitude, humility, and love. It can rise through worlds (states of awareness), expand awareness, gain wisdom, and taste spiritual clarity. But even then, it’s missing something essential. Because all that light is experience from a distance, not expression. A soul can know G-d in the higher realms, but it cannot […]
