Now I hear it for my son, after I was glad about it myself

It is so good to hear that again. It took me quite a long time, until I could keep Shabbat as I should. Now I see my son improving. Sometimes it seems to me too slowly, but who am I, that I can judge, what is his right pace. He is going in the right direction and is very often shouted at by his Christian wife. But it is good to see him moving on slowly slowly. Always a little more. Actually it is a pleasure to see, even when the steps are small. Thank you for your audio minute! Michal

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.
