  • To You Chev, With Love

    To You Chev, With Love

      I’m still not completely grounded. My heart is pounding and I’m a little shaky. But good shaky. The kind of trembles you get after birth when both your body and your soul have gone through an intense experience and touched the Divine. The past hour was spent on my couch with Esther Wiener, a gifted and intuitive energy healer. I’ve known Esther for a while, but just recently in synagogue as I was doling out hugs and greetings, Esther put her [...]

  • My Child Saw Porn Pt 2 – The Practical

    My Child Saw Porn Pt 2 – The Practical

    Did I mention yet how much I cringed when I titled this post and the last. Using that P word is so ugly – it’s a word that’s dripping with vulgarism and yet its the accurate word to describe what went on. [Click here for the post about it] Awful as it was, I’m glad I wrote it. I’m glad I grew up without taboos -  Judaism and life are just layers of one fabric and we approach both simultaneously with G-d’s will as [...]

  • My Child Saw Porn

    My Child Saw Porn

    READ THIS POST BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY> The kid had an Ipod – a seemingly innocuous device – until you realize just how curious kids are. It’s just an Ipod – a little music maker – like dynamite is just a candle shaped stick. Anger  and feelings of despair overwhelmed me when I found out that my child along with their friends looked up a nauseating internet video. How crazy is it to write about this? I figure if this [...]

  • How To Make Friends

    How To Make Friends

          “…And the biggest lie of all, is that we tell ourselves we don’t need friends.” ( A personal quote from a talk I gave recently.) I was not totally surprised, but still taken aback at the amount of feedback related directly to that comment. We lead these unnatural lives going from home, to car, to work, to errands and carpool, speaking to people for the most part in terms of transactions. “How much does this cost?” “Thank [...]

  • Elul! Episode 10 – Back to School

    Elul! Episode 10 – Back to School

      School is almost here. And we wonder sometimes, “How can we do it all?” How can we prepare for the High Holidays, buy all the school supplies, get the kid’s school clothes organized and be spiritually ready for Rosh Hashana. It seems so daunting. I know, I’m running around, making lists and doing errands and generally feeling like there are more things to do then fit in the day. Even if you’re not in school; autumn is coming and the spirit  of transition [...]

  • How to Be a Good Listener

    How to Be a Good Listener

    I like this video because it says it all. It’s practical and you can see in one minute how better listening changes everything. Awhile back I made a video filmed by Jerome Bethea on the subject of listening called Relationship Magic. Anyway, what I was trying to express there was the deepest form of listening. Listening with an ear for the sum total of the whole person. We all have work to do on this. It’s a daily thing. It’s [...]
