Daily Dose
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)

DAILY DOSE:
Getting Along
By Tzvi Freeman
When we can’t get along with someone,
we like to blame it on that person’s faults:
 Stupidity, incompetence, outrageous actions, aggression or some other evil.
The real reason is none of these. It is that the world is broken,
 and we are the shattered fragments.
And all that stops us from coming back together
is that we each imagine ourselves to be whole.


GROWING EACH DAY (Excerpts)
Rabbi Abraham Twerski
G-d is your shadow at your right hand (Psalms 121:5).
The Baal Shem Tov taught that G-d acts toward individuals
accordingly as they act toward other people. Thus, if people are
willing to forgive those who have offended them, G-d will similarly
 overlook their misdeeds. If a person is very judgmental and reacts
 with anger to any offense, G=d will be equally strict. The meaning of,
 G-d is your shadow, is that a person's shadow mimics his or her every action.

.. try to relate to people in the same manner I would wish God to relate to me.
