My first visit...Very Useful..Very Nice!

I especially liked 'man was not met to be alone..accept that others have idosyncracies and look for the positive. I will remember that next week at work..or even home!

Thank you Rabbi!

Dear Rabbi Shraga Simmons,

Thank you for your insightful words of wisdom. It is nice to hear your thoughts, it gives my eyes a rest. I give Thanks to Hashem for my eyes to see, my ears to hear, but it is my mouth that I should always watch with my eyes and listen to with my ears to keep that loshon hara from trying to escape. :-)

The Parshas are always pertinent

The parshas are always pertinent to the world and each of us. It is more stikingly obvious when the world is in chaos, or if each of our lives are in tribulation and trial. I enjoy this new experience of an oral presentation of the parsha! Thank you
