Finding the truth

Raised as a Christian I had always felt that something was wrong or was missing in what I had taught with which I was on this continuous journey of searching. I will be grateful forever for a friend that steered me into the truth within the Torah that to find the truth. There are those friend and family whom do not understand but I remember my father always saying to thine own self be true and my G-d. We must listen to the stirrings within and He will guide us to where we belong.

Perfect.

This was comfirmation of what I knew in my heart. It is so hard though to follow your heart if others put huge stumbling blocks before you. One has to keep trying. It is an obligation, no?

wonderful from beginning to the end

After listeninng I felt very good. Firstly, that Hashem put the truth in
some hidden corner of our subconcious. Secondly, the He sends us always somebody, who tells us: "Look at it!". And thirdly that you are one, who is able to tell and to show. Thanks for this Audio Minute.

About the Author

Rabbi Shraga Simmons

More by this Author >

Rabbi Shraga Simmons spent his childhood trekking through snow in Buffalo, New York. He holds a degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin, and rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. He is the senior editor of Aish.com and the director of JewishPathways.com.

An expert on media bias, he was the founding editor of HonestReporting.com, and is the author of David & Goliath: The Explosive Inside Story of Media Bias in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (2012). With drama and a biting edge, David & Goliath is a definitive treatment, fully resourced with over 2,000 footnotes. Readers are privy to secret negotiations with CNN executives, and how a grassroots campaign was cited by the New York Times as effecting sweeping changes in Mideast media coverage.

David & Goliath has been praised by politicians, professors and journalists: Former New York Mayor Ed Koch hails it as "Invaluable for anyone wanting the inside story," and James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal calls David & Goliath "of crucial importance for the future of the Middle East."

Rabbi Simmons lives with his wife and children in the Modi'in region of Israel.
