A Book of Comfort

Lori's book, Remember My Soul, came out at the same time my beloved Mother died....I don't know what I would have done without her book. It brought comfort and insight and was like having a close, trusted friend nearby at all times. I'm forever grateful to Lori for writing this book. Nine years later, I am still reading it, learning from it, and feeling its comfort and wisdom. Thank you, Lori.

Inspiring

Thanks Lori for your wonderful video.
I found it very inspiring and uplifting, and I have come to expect nothing less from you.
I think there is so much to love in Judaism, and it saddens me that we Jews pay so much more attention to non-Jewish concepts than we do to Jewish concepts.
Please keep up the good work.
From one of your fans in Hamilton, Ontario.

Excellent! Thank-you so very much!

B"H

Thank-you so very much for making this video, and making a very salient point, i.e., that B'nei Yisrael should NOT define their beliefs by what they DO NOT believe!

If this video was played in every synagogue throughout the world, and the message adopted, then things would change for the better, and numerous Jews would be retrieved back to the faith of Israel - Derekh HaShem.

Us and Them

I am one of 'Them' but I want to thank Lori for helping me understand my Jewish roots. After all our faith stems from Judaism and I find your teachings so helpful.

Thank You

Dear Lori,

My husband and I download your stream every week. We find you videos to be inspirational and therapeutic.

Having both been raised in secular families, we find so much truth in what you say. Now that we are becoming more observant, we only wish our families would start asking more questions and stop making us feel like there is something wrong with being more observant. I guess, with patience and time, they will come to understand.

Anyway, I hope this email finds you and your family in good health and we look forward to many more "Lori Almost Live".

Have a great week!

Believing & Knowing

It is one thing to believe, but that isn't always a substitute for knowing how the world works. One either perceives that the world either makes sense or is in hopeless chaos. However, Judaism can understandably bridge the gap between belief and knowledge in G-d and how the world works. Given that we as the Jewish people are still around today is a fine example of a bridged gap, because as we define ourselves as Jews, we are just about the same as we were as our ancestors entering the land of Israel and receiving the 10 Commandments directly from G-d witnessed by up to 2 million Jews. It gives hope and reason to believe and know that G-d exists. For the rest, the Torah considers commentary - go and learn.
