VERY SOFT AND SIMPLE WELL SAID .
But Aish LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER you can find so many stories THE Life of DANIEL HAMBURGER in Baltimore or In a blink of an eye THE STORY OF Nechama Zakroff Denver Colorado and a new story on the horizon INNER STRENGTH A story about a Lady who overcame physical and Mental illness When the Body met the Soul a conglomeration including the video above might strike a stronger long lasting cord as we prepare for the High Holidays.

choose life
I found out that I have MS and their is no cure. Just shots to slow it down. We make too much on social scurity and can't get medical help or help through the Medical. I have been feeling so helpless for 3 years and abandened by the US government. Until i say this Vedio. Even though I am loosing my evesight, It is nice to know that someone is still able to servive their phicial disability. Praise to Hashem!

Life
I was told that M.S. might be the cause of problems with my legs but I'm not willing to go through the very painful procedure to diagnose it. I have too many other problems to handle and I am getting on in years. I don't how anyone can have too much social security so perhaps it's another source of income that is a problem. Sometimes if you try to act cheerfully towards others (I know it's hard) it will make life a bit more bearable. Try to surround yourself with as many friends as possible to distract you or give a home to a needy animal it helps a bit.

This powerful, loving message has spoken to something deep inside of me. Since I was a young girl I've had a long time internal yearning to write. Lately, God has been dealing with me about it - to just do it! Over the years, and I'm much older now, I've been hesitant to begin because of feeling less than. I'm inspired and convicted by Dr. Melamed-Cohen. I know that God is again encouraging me through him.

Powerful!
Wow! This video so powerfully says so much in so few words! Well done! Blessings to the amazing and vibrant doctor!

Thank you
I read about Dr. Melamed Cohen already in the book of Sara Rigler... i had to cry about this man having become the message "never give up". I hope i learn from him to have more strength to solve my little problems in my life in the future. May Hashem bless Dr. Melamed Cohen with Refuah Shlemah and many more years Ksiva veChasima tova, Reisel

INCREDIBLE!
This great man has used his obstacles as a ladder to advance in both spirit and corporeal aspects. He provides us an example on how to rise above limitations, only with G-d's help. This film is short and yet powerful!

incredibly inspiring
WOW I am in awe at this man's will to live and make the most of his time on this earth. He certainly has reached his fullest potential. Makes us "able" beings ashamed for wasting our hidden potentials. Life really is what you choose to make of it...thanks for inspiring us.

I was sick with a minor fever and looking for a way to relax when i came across this film. I realized that this man probably feels a lot worse everyday than i do today, and he is not just relaxing, he is pushing himself above and beyond the limits, the least i can do is try a little harder to make the most of my day. and i got up and found something important to do

Thank you for your most important message, "CHOOSE LIFE"
We, as humans, should know the value of the choice that we have to choose life.
We , as God-loving Christians and Jews, and almost every other spiritual/peaceful following, should always choose life.
There is no other choice! Choose life.

I had the privilege of meeting with Dr. Cohen a few months ago. He,indeed, is the opitome of the power of the mind to overcome adversity. When I walked in (with my sister and brother) he asked (via computer) - Why are you here? " I answered, "for inspiration and chizuk." He answered - family, love, Torah. That says it all - the sources for his WELLSPRINGS. Shana Tovah.

Shana Tovah
The High Holidays are very powerful. I am blessed for just looking at your site today. I found this video amazing. The courage to keep life hopeful in the midst of tragedy is what faith is all about. I love the experiences I have had at this time of my life that increase my faith in Ashem. May He forgive all your self wounds and make you abound in good works.
