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.

well done!

Rabbi Solomon! I have viewed all of your Aish presentations. This one, however, is hands down, your very best!
Thank-you and Good Yom Tif

From the Heart

THis truly touched my heart and has brought tears! THis scripture has been fullfilled today saying, ten persons, of the nations, will hold on to the garment of one Jew saying, let us go with you for we know that God is with you! With tears of Joy, you are truly a blessing, you are as a light of truth. I see and I appriciate! THank you! and Thank you Aish

the day after

The day after Yom Kippur can either make or break our promises to do better as human beings. Also, sins can always be atoned by the Al Cheyt prayer of "for the wrong we did before You..." It's all a matter of sincerity where we follow through on our atonement.
