Sukkot is a Jewish holiday celebrated by taking off work, celebrating in a hut, and waving unusual bouquets. This video will give you the whole story. There are moments when we get to peel back the curtain of consciousness and gain a rare glimpse of G‑d’s perspective of creation.

For G‑d, there is no us and Him. No big G‑d and no small world. G‑d sees us as part of Him, not as a separate creation. But because we live behind the veil of construed reality, we spend most of our time identifying as separate from G‑d.

And then comes Sukkot. Sukkot is a week of realizing that the active relat

You did something wrong. Of that, you’re sure. Does that mean you must forever publicly beat your chest to be accepted in polite society? A closer look at the High Priest’s confession on Yom Kippur tells an empowering story about how we ought to look at our past—and our future. You did something wrong. Of that, you’re sure.

Every week, for the 25 hours beginning just before sundown on Friday until after night has fallen on Saturday night, Jewish people celebrate Shabbat, a period of rest and spiritual rejuvenation.
“He who toils on the eve of Shabbat,” say the sages, “will eat on Shabbat.” Shabbat is treated as an honored guest, and Friday (or even Thursday night) in a Jewish home is dedicated to preparing for her arrival. For this reason, in addition to calling it yom shishi (“the sixth day”), Jews refer to Friday as erev Shabbat, the “eve of Sabbath.”

Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, way beyond, in the direction of the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain, opposite Gilgal, near the plains of Moreh?
For you are crossing the Jordan, to come to possess the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you, and you shall possess it and dwell in it.
These are the statutes and ordinances that you shall keep to perform in the land which the Lord God of your fathers gives you to possess all the days that you live on the earth.

On Yom Kippur, the souls return to connect to their origin, carrying with them the divine sparks from all they've done in this world.

Their return rises like an aroma of burning incense through the atmosphere, and through endless strata of spiritual realms, until it reaches a place beyond higher and lower. It reaches the essence of G-d.

And there it becomes the essence of pure and ultimate bliss.

On Sukkot, that divine, supernal delight reappears in our world, much as a cloud condenses from the vapor rising from the sea.

And it manifests as the branches and leaves covering our Suk

A parent can easily say "no" 200-300 times a day to a young child. After a barrage of "no's," a child can become so inured to the pain that he stops listening. Obviously, a parent must set limits, but it is also essential to show empathy as you do so. Teaching children to face life's endless disappointments, losses and frustrations with determination and discipline is what helps them build ego-strengths! Even if they rant and rave and accuse you of being the meanest parent on earth, they will – one day - appreciate the fact that you cared enough to protect them. Furthermore, upholding your pr

Maybe it wasn’t a great business tactic on my part, but when I practiced family law, if I had doubts that the client’s narrative really warranted a divorce, I would ask probing questions during the initial consultation. I would point out the consequences of divorce if they hadn’t fully considered them. And I almost always asked if they had tried marriage counseling. To that last point, sadly, many of them had—obviously, without success. I can’t conclude from these instances alone that marital counseling is ineffective; after all, only the ones that don’t work end up in a divorce lawyer's offi

Abraham was the first to proclaim to the world that there is only one G‑d. He believed in a G‑d who is everywhere and yet beyond all things. He taught that G‑d desires justice and compassion in His world and holds people accountable for what they do.
Abraham faced many challenges and risked his life to publicize his beliefs. His son, Isaac, followed in his path, as did Isaac’s son, Jacob, who G‑d named Israel. And so they were promised that their children would be given the Land of Canaan, which is today called the Land of Israel. They would be a chosen people to continue the mission of thei
