So Relevant!

THan you so much-this little story is so powerful because it is so incredibly true! I have caught myself so many times thinking-I've to do Teshuva, think about my year, do some self-reflecting, and then immediately-Oh, but I'm too busy, cant do it.. Thanks for reminding me about priorities in life and how Hashem comes before anything else!

Very good mushul-Let's hope we get the nimshul.

Have a happy,healthy and tranquil new year to all of klal yisroel. May this year be the year that we all see the errors of our ways, and do teshuva, to bring Moshiach.

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.
