The Man From Afghanistan

I was driving my kids home from school on one of those brutally hot afternoons, the kind where the sun feels like it’s sitting right on top of your car, burning a hole through the roof, when the engine sputtered and gave out.

I set my hazard lights flashing and cranked the windows. Heat poured in and cars were flying past, the kids getting restless. I tried calling people, but no one answered. I tried pushing the car to the side of the road, but it wouldn’t budge.

Are You Working Hard — or Too Hard?
Parshah for the Anxious

One cause of anxiety is uncertainty about the outcome when embarking on a new and important undertaking. The more important the venture, the more stress it can generate — sometimes enough to paralyze us, or to make us abandon the effort altogether.

My Seven-Year-Old Is Afraid to Be Jewish

My seven-year-old son doesn’t go to a Jewish school. After hearing some pretty graphic details of the Bondi attack from his friends, he keeps telling me, “Dad, I don’t want to be Jewish anymore.” He’s had counselling and is otherwise doing fine, but he still refuses to attend Jewish events or go to Jewish venues. How do I deal with this?

Do You Agree?...

1) Every person faces challenges.

2) The sign of a good teacher is when the student doesn't need them anymore.

3) Success leads to arrogance.

4) No Jew is ever "too far."

5) Chametz (bread, etc.) is not allowed on Pesach.

6) A Challah Board is a religious object.

7) We are dependent on others for inspiration.

Am I Living a Double Life?
Your Tension Is Your Superpower

Dear Rabbi,

I feel like a hypocrite living a double life. On weekends, I’m in shul, I do Shabbos, I’m connected to the Torah-observant community, trying to do the right thing. But during the week, my friends and family aren’t involved at all, and I fit right in with them too. I feel like I have two faces, and I don’t fully belong in either world. Why am I stuck in the middle?

Are You Big Enough to Be Humble?

One cause of anxiety and anguish is low self-esteem. When one feels worthless or unremarkable, depression is not far off.

Today, I want to look at a powerful antidote to low self-esteem: humility.

But how can humility protect against low self-esteem? Don't they amount to the same thing?
