While reading commentary this week, I learned several things about Abraham I did not know. The more I study Genesis, the more I learn. When doing some studies about Abraham’s prayer over Sodom, 1.

A Time To Reflect
I am in the midst of reading Seven Gates of Righteous Knowledge by Rabbi Moshe Weiner and Dr. Michael Schulman. Yesterday morning I read something about the Shabbat that I had not thought of and found it very thought provoking. In Chapter 2 'Contemplation Of The Noahide Commandments and Lessons from the Hebrew Bible' The …
Something I Need To Say
The Creator, the G-d of Abraham, the G-d of Isaac and the G-d of Jacob. The One True G-d of Israel in Whom no form has been shown and in Whom there is no mediator between Him and His Creation is Awesome and He alone is G-d and there is no other. Today I had …
The Blessing of Being You
There is something amazing and freeing that over takes a person on the day they wake up and stop striving to be something they're not. A new world and life opens up before them, they take those first steps in becoming who they were created to be. You see, that was me just over a year ago. …
“Baruch ata…”
There are time when I pray, the only words I want to utter are those of Tehillim/Psalms 145. So I grab my book of Tehillim and recite each word with intent , the intent that they are my own words to the Creator. Tehillim 145 is the culmination of all the Tehillim wrapped up into …

Bnei Noach Baal Teshuva
Conversion? In the past year I have been questioned about the subject of Noahide conversion. My personal stance on the subject has been that there is no conversion necessary, because when one is born into this world the Laws of the Creator were already in place, thus they, the Laws of G-d are our birthright, a heritage that is …
Moss & Memories
This past weekend, my wife and I was blessed to be able to fulfill one of our bucket list dreams, to stay at the Jekyll Island Club House. It was built in the 1880s, a playground for the late 19th and early 20th century American wealthy, with the likes of J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt …
I Don’t Seek Heaven – I Seek The Creator
I love our third floor apartment, built on top a large hill, our apartment's view faces east overlooking the foothills of the great Smokey Mountains. The sunrises are awesome and breathtaking. It in this setting that I spend time in reflecting on my studies and personal communication with the amazing Creator of the view I am blessed …
