About the Author
Rabbi Yaakov Salomon
Rabbi Yaakov Salomon, C.S.W. is a noted psychotherapist, in private practice in Brooklyn, N.Y. for over 25 years. He is a Senior Lecturer and the Creative Director of Aish Hatorah's Discovery Productions. He is also an editor and author for the Artscroll Publishing Series and a member of the Kollel of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath.
Rabbi Salomon is co-author, with Rabbi Noah Weinberg, of the best selling book "What the Angel Taught You; Seven Keys to Life Fulfillment," (Mesorah), and is also the co-producer of the highly-acclaimed film, "Inspired."
Click here to order Yaakov Salomon's new book, Salomon Says: 50 Stirring and Stimulating Stories.
In these marvelous stories -- brimming with wit, understanding, a touch of irony and a large helping of authentic Torah perspective -- we will walk with a renowned and experienced psychotherapist and popular author through the pathways of contemporary life: its crowded sidewalks, its pedestrian malls, and the occasional dead end street. This is a walk through our lives that will be fun, entertaining -- and eye-opening. In our full -- sometimes overfull -- and complex lives, Yaakov Salomon is a welcome and much-needed voice of sanity and reason.
His speaking, writing and musical talents have delighted audiences from Harvard to Broadway and everything in between. Rabbi Salomon shares his life with his wife, Temmy, and their unpredictable family.

housing crisis
I hate to beat a dead horse, but this is so relevant for those of us who may (or may not) loose our homes this coming year. Nothing is permanent, and the sooner we realize this, the happier we will be.

it's how we furnish our souls
On this most beautiful of holidays, that is arriving, I am thinking, in anticipation, of heaven and its relationship to the word "haven" because surely they are "close" as you have so beautifully stated in your own words. Look at the stars and how they shine for you... For me, it's a story that's about the music, and in that chiming, that shining, I honestly believe we are, eternal and that soul keeps that journey. We never truly arrive, and it's about the journey, and the AWE and sukkot is so about the awe, and what we harvest.

So eloquently put.
I always am fascinated by the beautiful words of wisdom that you express in these videos. May Hashem continue to give you the strength and wisdom to deliver many more dynamic points of view. As far as I can remember, Succos has always been my favorite Chag. Have a happy, healthy and spiritual New Year.
