Turning on G-d’s light
Our function in this world is to activate G-d's light. G-d said: "Light the Menorah and the world will see that it is not I that illuminate the world but you." (Medrash Shmos Rabba 36;2) When the world was created G-d said "Let there be light!" From the beginning of...
Whatever You Do – Do It Like A Jew!

Rise to the Call (2006)
Perhaps our minds are clouded by our idea of what we should become, and G-d's idea just gets in the way. Whatever happened to Betzalel? The Talmud tells a story. Rabbi Tarphon was ill and his very important friends, Rabbi Akiva, Rabban Gamliel and others, came to...
What Is Your Purpose? (2004)
Perhaps our minds are clouded by our idea of what we should become, and G-d's idea just gets in the way. Whatever happened to Betzalel? The Talmud tells a story. Rabbi Tarphon was ill and his very important friends, Rabbi Akiva, Rabban Gamliel and others, came to...
