The Holy Aish Kodesh, the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto, teaches that since Rosh Hashana is the day we ate from the Tree of Knowledge, it's also the day that we have to fix it. Everything boils down to this question: Is my body an extension of my soul? Or... is my body something different, something that covers my soul? The way we answer this question reverberates in all the worlds. Join me on an incredible journey in Torah learning and self-discovery. Happy New Year!!!

Imagine I'm a great baseball player and I go up to someone who is playing football, and I laugh at him and say, "You have no idea how to play baseball! I'm so much better than you!" Who is the fool? I am! Here he is playing football -- and all I can think is that he is playing baseball incorrectly! Each of us has a completely different mission in this world. Yours is different from mine, and mine is different from yours. The problems start when we look at each other and think we are playing the same game. This is where all the judgements, jealousies and disconnects begin. There is a competition going on -- but it is between you and your own potential. Be supportive of everyone around you. Their victory is your victory. Their joy is your joy. Their blessings are coming straight from Hashem. All of ours are. When we make room for each other, we complete ourselves.
