About the Author

Rabbi Yaakov Salomon

More by this Author >

Rabbi Yaakov Salomon, C.S.W. is a noted psychotherapist, in private practice in Brooklyn, N.Y. for over 25 years. He is a Senior Lecturer and the Creative Director of Aish Hatorah's Discovery Productions. He is also an editor and author for the Artscroll Publishing Series and a member of the Kollel of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath.

Rabbi Salomon is co-author, with Rabbi Noah Weinberg, of the best selling book "What the Angel Taught You; Seven Keys to Life Fulfillment," (Mesorah), and is also the co-producer of the highly-acclaimed film, "Inspired."

Click here to order Yaakov Salomon's new book, Salomon Says: 50 Stirring and Stimulating Stories.

In these marvelous stories -- brimming with wit, understanding, a touch of irony and a large helping of authentic Torah perspective -- we will walk with a renowned and experienced psychotherapist and popular author through the pathways of contemporary life: its crowded sidewalks, its pedestrian malls, and the occasional dead end street. This is a walk through our lives that will be fun, entertaining -- and eye-opening. In our full -- sometimes overfull -- and complex lives, Yaakov Salomon is a welcome and much-needed voice of sanity and reason.

His speaking, writing and musical talents have delighted audiences from Harvard to Broadway and everything in between. Rabbi Salomon shares his life with his wife, Temmy, and their unpredictable family.

Wow, I'm the only one who's writing in ??

Yikes ! Ah well. I'm just taking a break from the horrors of the world right now, watching Little House on the Prairie dreaming of a simpler time... I hear this question often - it's kinda along the lines of the Desert Picks question. I think we really should be fair about this, though, because in a way it's an unfair question. It's not a matter of taking out of a burning house what's the most important, but saving what's the most irreplaceable. Are photos more important to me in life than a Chumash? No. But I can buy a new Chumash or any other book, I can't replace photos I have no negatives of. If everything irreplacable was in my computer, I'd have to try and take my computer. Chances are there wouldn't be enough time for that... But that might be what I would take if I could, not because the computer ranks the highest in what is the most important to me in life, but because it contains what is the most irreplaceable.

As for the TV and the soccer game ? You got me on that one.
