Our Mission In the early morning of the 7th of October of 2023, I learned Italy conducted its sympathies to Israel (for whatever reason, I was not able to glean at that moment). A few moments later, I learned of the Hamas attacks on Israel at its southern border. I immediately reached…

Hear, O Hear, Israel In the beginning there was faith — which is childish; trust — which is vain; and illusion — which is dangerous. We believed in God, trusted in man, and lived with the illusion that every one of us has been entrusted with a sacred spark from the Shekhinah’s flame; that every one of us carries in his eyes and in his soul a reflection of God’s image. That was the source if not the cause of all our ordeals.

A paean to the ALMIGHTY When I was a child I thought as a child, lived as a child, and loved as a child. I never saw a world beyond my world. I believed everything was in as much order as my world. All was endless good. When I grew…

Zealotism in the Name of Country Today in the USA, we endure to our everlasting shame the spectacle of millions of people lemmingly following the Trump cult of personality and his sycophants. The final natural outcome of this behavior will ONLY lead to a loss of civil freedoms, persecution, and…

Smoke and mirrors are powerful alchemy to exercise hegemony over folks who vote more frequently than the rest of us. These folks are generally susceptible…

Never Give Up I saw a video: In which I felt the power of divine mercy. Even in the midst of what seems to be unforgivable circumstances, the power of mercy can be exercised if desired. God’s infinite power is exactly that. It is ready and available to all if truly desired.

If we hold onto that truth we can forgive everything, even ourselves.
