Ending the violence
In this episode, I'm trying to address the occurrence of violence in schools especially mass shootings and how we can through prayer either on a large scale or small scale effect change in our communities.
Purpose is Not So Complicated
What is our true purpose in life?
My first encounter with this particular question came after visiting a church where this was an ongoing theme. I was hoping to find an answer to what I want to do with my life. Instead I came to the conclusion that "purpose", existentially is about being a righteous person following the commandments of God, not a job description. Connecting with our purpose helps us with everything we do and when we fall short, we can go back to God asking for help to get back on track.
Hope you enjoy the podcast and find it helpful to you in some way. Please like, share, and provide feedback as this helps to improve and grow.
Cheers!

Your mind is not wasted
In the 70's there was a saying "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" that was quite popular at the time as a way of promoting education and access to college education. It worked and was quite successful. The mind is a spiritual component of the human body which allows our soul to engage with the world. Our mind performs many tasks each day so in essence it is not what is wasted. Rather is the improper use of the mind that causes waste. I relate this waste to the manufacturing process, providing examples of what waste possibly looks like in our lives. I also talk briefly about the process of hitbodedut - read more about it here https://breslov.org/hitbodedut-jewish-meditation-how-to/.
