The Storyteller
By Tzvi Freeman
A
bandon the notion that there is a world and there is a G-d.
It is as fallacious as thinking there is a story and there is a storyteller
There is only the storyteller, expressing himself in the story he tells.
There is only the Unknowable, expressing Himself as a world.

Daily Dose
Love Pulls
By Tzvi Freeman
There is only one way to bring people closer to Torah, whether your friend,
your spouse, your child, or a complete stranger. It is not with rebuke, not
with arguments, not with intellectual games -- but by drawing them
with thick cords of love, by showing your faith in who they are and with real deeds.



Daily Lift
Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
Feel the Joy of Being Alive
If we truly appreciate the gift of life that the Almighty gave us, we will constantly say,
"No complaints, I'm alive."
When you experience joy for being alive, these positive feelings create a
 context that free you from the thoughts and feelings that create complaints.
(For a series of probing questions on this topic, see Rabbi Pliskin's
 "Gateway to Self Knowledge," pp.164-7)
