Self Help

In Oros HaTeshuvah (Chapter 3), Rav Kook, zt”l, describes the healing powers of teshuvah: “A Light of acceptance begins to shine. His eyes are filled with a holy fire, his heart is entirely immersed in streams of delight. Holiness and purity hover above him. Infinite love fills his entire being.” It is the light of acceptance that shines from every page of this marvelous and practical manual of return.

Harav Moshe Weinberger

Giving structure to the chaotic terrain of the soul/body relationship, this work offers hope to the hopeless and power to the powerless. To tame the body, to recover its essential foundation hidden under layers of shame and despair, our author leads us down a path of soft healing and irreducible hope.

Rav Joey Rosenfeld

Some books are good reads, some books are enlightening, some books are eye-opening, some books inspire, while some books cause us to reach deep down and cleanse our inner selves. Acceptance is all of the above.

Rav Aryeh Cohen

By reading and internalizing the words of this book, one will become a better version of themselves, find healing and growth, and ultimately live a life that is forward thinking and meaningful.

A man in white... A stranger at the Kotel... A mysterious doctor... A life-saving dream...

In a moment of need, a stranger appears, offers help, and then disappears, as if by magic. These are encounters with Elijah the Prophet, who, in the Jewish tradition, never died, but still roams the world, helping, teaching, and admonishing people. Meeting Elijah is a collection of amazing real-life encounters with Elijah - Eliyahu Hanavi - heard directly from the people involved or close friends and relatives. In other stories, we see how the "Spirit of Elijah" can move in and through people, bringing them to the right place at the right time, in order to help and deliver others, even without their own awareness. In all cases, these stories reveal the remarkable level of Divine providence that we can experience in our lives, at any moment and in any place

The stories in this volume are surprising, inexplicable, and inspiring. They remind us that the world is a mysterious place, and that God's deliverance can occur in the blink of an eye. They are stories that you will enjoy, and will want to share with your family.

David Aaron can help you discover a mature, new understanding of God and lead you to discover the wellspring of Divinity within you. By drawing on teachings of Kabbalah that were secret for millennia, he helps you to reclaim the power you've given away to negative images of God or passive images of yourself. These mystical secrets of Judaism can offer reassuring guidance, meaning, and purpose to the lives of people of all faiths.

In the journey to discovering God's secret life you will:

- Awaken to your life's deepest purpose
- Delight in a deeper connection to your true inner self, God, and others
- Learn to experience God's infinite love for you
- Rise to new heights, cope with challenges, and make courageous choices
- Achieve true peace of mind and freedom from anxiety

Aaron shares these profound ancient teachings in simple, everyday language with a touch of wit and humor. Rich in personal stories and anecdotes, his examples from daily life help us tap the transformational power hidden within and illuminate the surprising paradoxes of spiritual growth. Awakened to finally experience a personal connection to God, we are at last able to receive God's love unconditionally and discover our ultimate identity, divine purpose, and true happiness.

The challenges that most of us face in our day-to-day lives are often a product of our own character flaws and lack of personal growth. G-d created the world utilizing the Sefiros, a perfectly integrated system of intellectual, emotional and expressive attributes. The lessons of the Sefiros can be applied to our own character development. The Sefiros and the Self analyzes real-life examples and provides practical, down-to-earth solutions to help us overcome chronic failings and discover our ideal selves.

Clearly written and accessible to all, this is timeless wisdom in a 21st century garb, designed to bring out the best in you!

"Fierce and elegant, Lévy's musings will be of profound interest to any reader of modern continental philosophy."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Over the past fifty years, renowned public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy has reported extensively on human rights abuses around the world. This new book follows the intrepid Lévy into eight international hotspots--in Nigeria; Syrian and Iraqi Kurdistan; Ukraine; Somalia; Bangladesh; Lesbos, Greece; Libya; and Afghanistan--that have escaped global attention or active response.

In a deeply personal introduction, Lévy recounts the intellectual journey that led him to advocacy, arguing that a truly humanist philosophy must necessarily lead to action in defense of the most vulnerable. In the second section, he reports on the eight investigative trips he undertook just before or during the coronavirus pandemic, from the massacred Christian villages in Nigeria to a dangerously fragile Afghanistan on the eve of the Taliban talks, from an anti-Semitic ambush in Libya to the overrun refugee camp on the island of Lesbos. Part manifesto, part missives from the field, this new book is a stirring rebuke to indifference and an exhortation to level our gaze at those most hidden from us.
