The Things That Matter – Pull Up A Chair [audio]
Jew-hatred? Spiritual anemia? Parental alienation? Yawn. We've been given a mandate and the Torah blueprint is eternal. He took us out of Egypt to be a God to us: Why sweat the small stuff?
Walking Into The Fire
At that moment both Avraham and Yitzchak created a cosmic reality that had never existed before. They gave birth to the spiritual gene within Am Yisrael of mesiras nefesh. From that moment on we were given the fortitude to walk through fire, to resist those who wish to extinguish our light.

Surprise!
