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.

I'm glad you are saying what the rest of us thinking

I think that we should stop drag the mud ourselves, and remember more than ever that united we stand.

This was beautifully said, and as Jews we are too complacent. Israel is the land for the Jewish people and should be run like that. If we think that the Chariedi are doing a bad job with standing up for Jewish people's value, than why dont we? Things like the desecration of shabbos should bother us. If they don't we are allowing non- Jewish values to erode our country until Israel loses all it's ties to Judiasm, and we are left with nothing to call our homeland.

I thought this was excellent. I feel like throwing up when I go on to some of these blogs, especially with all the other stuff going on in the jewish community. While they are discussing important issues (which absolutely should be discussed), their language is despicable. There are ways to discuss things and get your point across without using gutter language!
