1️⃣ The Hidden Root of Generational Pain For millions of Jews, generational trauma didn’t begin with modern antisemitism.It began centuries earlier — in a world ruled by a single religious institution that saw Jewish existence itself as a threat to its truth. When the Catholic Church became the dominant religious power in Europe, it built […]
Jewish wisdom teaches that baseless hatred (שנאת חינם) is not one flaw among others — it is the root of them all.It’s the hidden energy behind jealousy, judgment, resentment, and even people-pleasing.That’s why our sages say it must be “searched for carefully and utterly destroyed,” using “the lamp of G-d — the soul of man.” […]
A deeper relationship with G-d happens when your awe is directed fully toward Him. Images — whether on the wall or in your mind, distract from that focus. It’s like talking to a friend while thinking about someone else, the presence fades, and the connection weakens. Jewish law forbids praying in front of pictures or […]
The Hebrew Bible gives humanity many commandments, because real intimacy needs boundaries/rules. For the body and soul to unite, to live through awe and love as much as you can, the soul’s boundaries must be respected. In any relationship, two beings connect when they feel the same emotion. That’s how love deepens. The soul feels […]
The Talmud teaches that the Messiah will be one of the leaders of the generation. If he’s from the living, it would be someone like Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi. If from the dead, someone that had a life like Daniel. He’s not a stranger who suddenly appears, but a soul already known for guiding the world […]
If G-d is infinite kindness, why does He hide it? Because love that’s fully revealed doesn’t leave room for relationship. So He gives through concealment, a hidden generosity that lets us feel separate enough to choose connection on our own. This was the first giving through disguise. In the beginning — the world of Tohu […]
When G-d told Moses to speak to the rock instead of strike it, it wasn’t just about obedience — it was about evolution. When the Jews first left Egypt, they were like a body coming out of trauma, still learning safety, structure, and survival. They were at the bottom of what psychology calls the “human […]
They’ll avoid the feeling of shame at all costs, even if it means blaming, denying, or disconnecting. But guilt isn’t the enemy. It’s the soul’s way of saying, “I want to do better.” True self compassion isn’t just kindness, it’s the courage to ask, “Why does this guilt exist?” It’s saying, “I’m trying my best, […]
Anxiety isn’t proof you’re far from G-d, it’s your soul feeling more light than it can hold. Jewish wisdom explains that anxiety is light without a vessel, the Infinite shining into a world still learning to receive. Finite experience requires vessels. A finite being can’t experience infinity directly, that’s why G-d expressed Himself through sefirot, […]
Ever notice how some versions of it sound more like emotional manipulation than love? They say: “You’re broken. You can’t repair yourself. Only I can save you.” That’s not holiness, that’s control wrapped in kindness. That’s how narcissistic control always works: First, it makes you feel unworthy. Then it offers love as rescue. Finally, it […]
