As we enter a new year, consider this powerful question: What potential within you has yet to be revealed? What would it mean to draw from your inner resources something unprecedented, to become more than you have been until now? That is a transformative way to enter a new year. Life lives in three dimensions: past, present, and future. Growth mean…

When my uncle was a small child, he once woke in the middle of the night, gripped by fear of the dark. Trembling, he ran to his mother, my grandmother, and said, “Mommy, I’m afraid.” She embraced him, soothed him, and then gently told him, “Go back to bed and remember: be afraid of nothing but G-d.” Calmed, he returned to sleep. But half an hour la…

I speak to you with a heavy heart in the aftermath of the cold-blooded and brutal murders of our brothers and sisters—colleagues, friends, families—on the first night of Chanukah at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. We are all shaken, shocked, and devastated by the sheer evil inflicted upon innocent men, women, and children. Our hearts ache for the…

What if you’re not burned out, not clinically depressed, and nothing in your life is falling apart—but you still feel numb, empty, or like you’re just going through the motions? In this episode, sociologist and mental health researcher Dr. Corey Keyes explains the science behind that feeling, and why he calls it “languishing.” We dig into how our c…

If you had an X-ray of your soul, what would it reveal? Today’s technology can map every contour of the body; X-rays, CAT scans, endless diagnostics that expose the inner mechanics of our biology. But when it comes to the psyche — to the soul, the seat of your identity and the engine of your entire life — where is that scan? The body is but the veh…

Is who you are defined by what you do? Is your self-worth measured by your net worth? These questions strike at the very heartbeat of life — at what truly drives us. Are we physical beings who occasionally embark on a spiritual journey, or spiritual beings navigating a physical world? Much of our lives is consumed with survival; eating, sleeping, w…

How much do our family dynamics shape our lives? Today we recognize more than ever that from our earliest, most impressionable years, the attitudes and environment of our homes—whether positive or negative—leave a deep imprint on our psyches. Picture a warm ball of wax: every experience, every word, every gesture becomes etched into it as it cools …

We’ve all witnessed it — those chilling moments when a crime unfolds in broad daylight and people simply walk by. A car slams into a bicyclist. The rider lays motionless on the pavement, and tens of passersby keep moving as if nothing happened. Another time, someone is being mugged in full public view — and no one lifts a finger. But what’s even mo…

What happens after we die? Does life simply end, or does it continue in a dimension beyond our comprehension—one our senses can barely fathom? Sight, sound, taste, touch, smell—these tools we rely on every day are too limited to perceive the true reality that lies beyond. This question has confronted humanity since the beginning of time: Is there l…

Do you ever feel your life is spinning beyond your control — that things just happen, and you’re merely a bystander? Or, perhaps on the other extreme, you feel fully in control — that you alone determine your fate. These two poles have defined human thought for millennia. On one end, a religious fatalism that says: “God runs the show; we’re just li…

How powerful is your comfort zone? And what effect does it really have on your life? The very word comfort evokes warmth and security — a sense of being settled. But if you think deeper, you’ll discover that comfort zones are one of life’s greatest traps. They keep us confined to the familiar — to the status quo, to inertia. Every genuine form of g…

In a striking parallel, this week’s Torah portion mentions hamas — not once, but twice. The world, it says, was filled with hamas: crime, robbery, violence. And here we are today, thousands of years later, we are painfully reminded that Hamas has not disappeared — it floods Gaza, it haunts our world, and it lingers, unresolved, two years after Octo…

If you’ve ever felt guilty for resenting your job—even one you worked hard to get—you’re not alone.

Think you’re a creative person? Think again. In this episode, psychologist and author Dr. Zorana Pringle explains why most of us are far less creative than we believe—and what to do about it.

Finding true comfort and healing in the face of life’s challenges is never easy. Each of us carries pain — personal struggles, family difficulties, disappointments, even trauma.

What if the biggest challenge with AI isn’t the technology, but what it’s revealing about us?

He believes AI is a mirror, reflecting ou…

In times of pain, we often struggle with what to say or do. And we all face such moments — loss, trauma, death, tragedy, setbacks. We’d like to avoid suffering, but it is part of life. In our search for comfort, we may turn to denial, therapy, medication — even unhealthy escapes that numb rather than heal. There is, however, a timeless path — a pro…

Hope. What would life be without it? Without that inner confidence — that no matter what happens, things can get better. That even when something breaks, it can be mended. Rebuilt. Renewed. But where does hope come from? Why are we so drawn to it? Is it just wishful thinking — something we cling to because the alternative is too bleak? Or is there …

We’ve all cried in life. Loss, disappointment, heartbreak — tears born of deep pain and inner anguish. But the real question is: What do you do with your tears? Sadness can crush us.

What if the most powerful psychedelic on Earth isn’t just a hallucination—but a message?

Why are some religious people so obnoxious? I hear this question often. It’s no wonder religion gets at times a bad rap. And it does seem strange, doesn’t it? If faith is meant to elevate us, shouldn’t it make us more refined, sensitive, kind, and gentle? Yet time and again, we see people—sometimes in the very name of religion—acting in ways that a…

Can you live forever? This is a question human beings have asked since the dawn of time.

If you looked at a region plagued by war for thousands of years, what would you conclude? That peace is impossible? That conflict is inevitable? That’s the case with the Middle East—a land soaked in blood and tears, going back to biblical times. From the battles around the Promised Land, to the destruction of the First and Second Temples, to the Cr…

Now that Israel and Iran have agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, the question on everyone’s mind is: What comes next? Will this ceasefire hold? Will Iran truly abandon its nuclear ambitions? Will it recognize Israel’s right to exist, cease developing ballistic missiles, and genuinely pursue peace? Or is this simply a pause — a strategic delay in …

We are living in historic times. The war that began between Israel and Iran on June 13th is more than just another conflict — it is a turning point in history.

Are you living a life that expresses your true individuality—or are you conforming, imitating, living someone else's script? Are you singing your own song, or the one others handed you? Too often, our lives are shaped not from within but by the expectations of parents, peers, society—external forces that define who we are, or who we should be. One …

We dig into what that means at the bi…

Do you have commitment issues? These days that phrase has become almost a cliché. A convenient excuse. You hear it all the time—serial daters saying, “We’re together, but don’t expect a commitment. I have... commitment issues.” For some, commitment feels like a burden. Like a noose around the neck. “Why tie myself down?” they say. “I need an exit s…

Would you consider yourself a humble person? Most of us would agree that humility is a virtue—something noble and worth aspiring to. And for good reason.

Is resilience something we’re born with—or is it something we learn?

Do you feel like your life is chaotic—especially lately, with all the disruptions and upheavals? Uncertainty seems to be the new norm, throwing us off balance, leaving many of us feeling confused, even overwhelmed. Chaos can be disorienting. Sometimes it shakes us to the core.

How do we make sense of the turbulence and upheavals shaking our world today? Just glance at the stock market — a mirror of our times, swinging wildly with volatility, reflecting trade wars, tariffs, and global conflicts from Gaza to Ukraine.

We all seek healing from psychological and emotional wounds like childhood abuse, trauma, abandonment, and loss.
