- 649 - Purifying the Heart - Likutei Moharan I:156
The heart has a spiritual self-cleaning mechanism that is capable of cleansing it from all forms of impurity. Rebbe Nachman teaches us how to activate it.
Thu, 16 May 2024 - 47min - 648 - Wings of a Dove: Psalms 54-56
Sometimes our troubles are so tormenting that we'd be happy to sprout wings like a dove and just fly away to a place of peace. King David felt exactly like that when he had no rest from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Prophetically, he felt our pain and wrote these Psalms for us too.
Wed, 15 May 2024 - 1h 01min - 647 - The Gaza War: No End in Sight?
There are those who claim, and seemingly rightfully so, that the Gaza War would have been over in 8 weeks, were it not for the interference of the Biden administration. Biden and Blinken forced Israel to enable the so-called "humanitarian aid" that enabled Hamas to recover from a near knockout. That may sound logical, but it contradicts the truth of emuna. Emuna tells us that everything is from Hashem, and that includes the Biden administration and Hamas. As such, today's broadcast helps us understand the emuna message of current events.
Tue, 14 May 2024 - 15min - 646 - The Beauty of Simplicity: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 19
The closest distance between two points is a straight line. In spirituality, straightness means simplicity and honest innocence. The two traits, which are really one, makes a person beautiful. They also create the closest distance between the person and the Creator.
Thu, 09 May 2024 - 57min - 645 - Renewal of the Spirit: Psalms 51-53
Confessing one's wrongdoings to the Almighty does more than merely cleansing one's soul. It rejuvenates the spirit. A rejuvenated spirit is a healthy spirit, and a healthy spirit is a happy spirit.
Wed, 08 May 2024 - 54min - 644 - Remodeling for Moshiach
Why all the chaos in the world and in each of our lives? The Gemara teaches us an amazing lesson: before enhanced abundance and joy, there's chaos, both physical and emotional. We are taken out of our comfort zone in order to accustom us to a new and better reality. That's the key to understanding current events. It's also proof that Moshiach is imminent. Here's how:
Thu, 02 May 2024 - 07min - 643 - Curing the Age-Old Plague
During the Omer, Rebbe Akiva's 24,000 students died because they didn't properly respect one another. We still mourn them, almost 2,000 later, because we haven't yet corrected their sin. We're all still guilty of intramural hate. Do you know why? Let me explain, with an amazing story from over sixty years ago, about my father, of blessed memory...
Tue, 30 Apr 2024 - 06min - 642 - The Story of Passover, Part 3: Exodus From Egypt
The 210 years of exile and 116 years of slavery in Egypt ended with on the eve of the 15th of Nissan, 2448 in the Hebrew calendar. This was the year 1312 BCE. Hashem gave a most difficult command to the Israelites. Each family had to slaughter a lamb, which the Egyptians held sacred as their prime deity. This was an act of total dedication to the Almighty, where emuna had to prevail over logic and fear. Such dedication triggered the final exodus from Egypt, in a remarkable chain of events that we learn in todays lesson.
Fri, 26 Apr 2024 - 48min - 641 - The Story of Passover - Part 2: The Ten Plagues
When Moses relayed Hashem's message of "Let My people go" to Pharaoh, the Egyptian monarch snarled back, "Who is Hashem that I should listen to Him? Besides, I've never heard of Hashem before" (Exodus 5:2). With such unprecedented insolence, Pharaoh was begging for punishment. The punishment came quickly. There were ten different plagues. Each one was a precise measure-for-measure response to the suffering that Pharaoh and the Egyptians meted out to the Israelites, as we see in today's lesson.
Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 1h 02min - 640 - The Story of Passover: Part 1, Slavery in Egypt
How did a fierce, proud and independent people like the Israelites fall into slavery in Egypt? Why did they have to suffer unspeakable atrocities? Here, in first of our 3-Part "Story of Passover," we gain a deeper appreciation of the Passover holiday and of true freedom.
Thu, 25 Apr 2024 - 1h 00min - 639 - In Every Generation
The Passover Seder night is not an evening of reminiscing about what happen to our nation 3,336 years ago. Like everything else that's Divinely inspired, it's timeless. The Haggadah is about us - today - and much more relevant than the daily news. Our future is where our past is; without our past, we can't make sense of the present.
Thu, 18 Apr 2024 - 24min - 638 - Iran Attacks Israel
Shortly after midnight, Sunday, April 14, 2024, Iran launched an unprecedented 130 ballistic missiles, 30 cruise missiles and over 200 suicide drones against Israel. Is this the beginning of World War III?
Sun, 14 Apr 2024 - 05min - 637 - The Bread of Joy: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 24
Rebbe Nachman teaches that being happy always is a tremendous mitzvah. Therefore, each of us must make every effort to avoid sadness and depression at all costs. What's more, the core cause of all illness is a breakdown of one's joy. Passover is a fantastic opportunity to recover our joy, and therefore our health.
Thu, 11 Apr 2024 - 42min - 636 - It Won't Last Forever: Psalms 49-50
Rebbe Nachman explains that one of two things happens to money: either Hashem takes the money away from the person, or He takes the person away from the money. They don't last together. King David wonders why people invest so much in something that slips through their fingers...
Wed, 10 Apr 2024 - 51min - 635 - Ready for Redemption
Since the dawn of our history, joy has been our mode of survival. Rebbe Nachman says that the lack of joy in life is the root of all problems, including health. Therefore, to hasten the coming of Moshiach and to be ready for redemption, we must strengthen ourselves in joy. Emuna is the only way to do that...

Don't ever be down on yourself. With emuna and teshuva, there's always hope. Every soul has the potential of being a priceless jewel in the Almighty's crown. This is our concluding lesson on Rebbe Nachman's famous teaching of how to navigate life's ups and downs.
Thu, 04 Apr 2024 - 26min - 632 - When Mountains Collapse: Psalms 46-48
King David is preparing us for the imminent day when all the nations join together against Israel. They'll advance toward Jerusalem, but they're in for a big surprise.
Wed, 03 Apr 2024 - 55min - 631 - A Kosher Foot
The pig has a complaint. Why does everyone give it a bad rap? Why is it the archtype of crudeness and bad character? There are plenty of unkosher animals in the world. Why is the pig singled out for such discrimination? Here's a message to live by...
Tue, 02 Apr 2024 - 07min - 630 - Ascents and Descents: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 6, Part 7
Life is like a ferris wheel. Don't boast when you're on top of the world, because you'll soon go down. But, don't be upset when you hit rock bottom, for you'll soon go up. Rebbe Nachman shows us the awesome secrets embedded in the ability to serve Hashem during good times and the opposite.
Thu, 28 Mar 2024 - 47min - 629 - A Melody of Trust: Psalms 43-45
What do you do when you feel low? If you play a musical instrument, grab it! If not, clap your hands and start humming the tune that comes into your head. Plug into your true source of strength - the Almighty – which is unlimited. You'll soon be singing a melody of trust that your soul composed. It worked for King David and it will work for us.
Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 1h 03min - 628 - Where Are Our Friends?
On Monday, March 25, 2024, the USA enabled the UN Security Council to pass a unilateral condemnation of Israel calling for immediate withdrawal from Gaza. There was no demand of Hamas and no mention of the 134 Israeli captives. The USA could have vetoed this injustice, but merely abstained. Israel asks, "Where are our friends?" Why has the Almighty put us in a position of someone all alone on a narrow bridge on a dark night looking for a friend, but can't find one?
Tue, 26 Mar 2024 - 06min - 627 - Amalek's Downfall: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 6, Part 6
How will the name of Amalek be finally obliterated? Israel has a secret weapon that has unfathomable power. It's the letter Aleph.
Thu, 21 Mar 2024 - 40min - 626 - Purim and Political Correctness
The story of Purim begins 523 years before the miracle of Purim, in the Hebrew year of 2882 (878 BCE). Hashem commanded King Saul to wipe out Israel's arch-enemy, the nation of Amalek. King Saul buckled under political pressure and failed to fulfill Hashem's commandment. He had misplaced mercy on Agag, the Amalekite king. King Saul resultingly lost the monarchy and the seed of Amalek again rooted itself. We fast forward to the Hebrew year of 3405 (355 BCE). "Showdown in Shushan," in the Persian Empire, is where the 10th generation great-grandson of Agag - Haman - threatens to annihilate the entire Jewish People. The 10th generation great-grandson of Saul - Mordechai - must now make some painful decisions to thwart Haman's evil scheme. The question is, will he too, like his great-grandfather King Saul, bow to political correctness? Let's see how this is the template for current events...
Thu, 21 Mar 2024 - 16min - 625 - Like a Yearning Deer: Psalms 40-42
A thirsty deer has been walking for hours in the forest. With its keen sense of smell, it detects a freshwater stream in the distance. The deer now runs to the stream. Despite its yearning for a drink of water, it first raises its head and emits a call of thanks to the Creator. King David's thirsty soul yearned for Hashem in the same way.
Wed, 20 Mar 2024 - 1h 02min - 624 - Geese in the Desert: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 6, Part 5

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 - 40min - 623 - Cry of the Lonely: Psalms 38-39
Maybe you feel alone in the world. Even your relatives and best friends are indifferent to your pain. You feel ill or downtrodden and all the "fair-weather friends" are no longer at your side. Don't lose hope; Psalms 38 and 39 are for you. King David was in the same situation; he can talk to your heart.
Wed, 13 Mar 2024 - 1h 01min - 622 - The True National Leader
The story of Purim is the story of the true national leader of Israel. It begins with Abraham, continues with King David and then with Mordechai. It will soon culminate with Moshiach. Our past is our future. One cannot understand current events in Israel without understanding the events that led to the miraculous downfall of our enemies. The tyrants and traitors of old are still with us today.
Tue, 12 Mar 2024 - 56min - 621 - Israel Needs Both

Fri, 08 Mar 2024 - 59min - 619 - The Old Brick Oven

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 - 07min - 618 - Triumph of the Humble: Psalms 36-37
In this world, it appears that the cruel and powerful are the ones who succeed. Don't envy them; their success is temporary at best. In the context of Divine justice, which prevails ultimately, the mighty fall yet the weak and humble inherit the earth.

Thu, 29 Feb 2024 - 53min - 615 - Miraculous Escape: Psalms 34-35
If Netflix could reproduce even a small portion of the drama in this week's Psalms, they'd break all box-office records. No screenwriter could imagine how King David, a hostage with no dream of escape, finally made his way to freedom.
Wed, 28 Feb 2024 - 58min - 614 - When the Eyes Can‘t See
All over the world - between wars, natural disasters and political unrest - people lack a clue as to what's happening to them, especially when they are decent people living decent lives. How do we cope when something painful happens to us, especially when it hits us after we did a good deed or finished praying. What happens when we can neither see nor understand what the Creator is doing to us and why? Today's podcast answers.
Sun, 25 Feb 2024 - 02min - 613 - Silent Power: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 6, Part 2
One cannot possibly attain Divine honor if he or she has a contaminated soul. The cure for a contaminated soul is penitence, or teshuva. The evil inclination gets its vitality from the spiritually-contaminated blood in the left side of the heart. A special type of teshuva, which we learn in today's lesson, can rid the heart of such blood and starve the evil inclination. This is a key to attaining humility, spiritual health and Divine honor.
Thu, 22 Feb 2024 - 50min - 612 - A New Song: Psalms 32-33
A soul feels parched and stifled when it lacks Divine light. It also feels dull and unexpressive. King David provides a triple-strength remedy to rejuvenate the soul. You'll feel so good that you'll soon be singing your own new song.
Wed, 21 Feb 2024 - 52min - 611 - Golden Silence: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 6, Part 1
There are two types of honor: man-granted honor and Divine granted honor. Everyone questions whether a person is worthy of the honor he or she receives from other people, but no one questions Divine granted honor. Rebbe Nachman teaches that the only way to attain Divine honor is through teshuva, or penitence. Not only that – a person is not yet a person until he repents. The key to repentence is silence, worth its weight in gold...
Thu, 15 Feb 2024 - 1h 01min - 610 - Cast My Soul: Psalms 30-31
What do you do when you're pinned down in a nasty crossfire? How does it feel when bombs are exploding all around you? What do you do when you look at your watch and calculate that your life expectancy is lesson than a minute? Such a picture is amazingly similar to King David's predicament when he wrote these Psalms.

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 - 25min - 607 - Scorpio: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 7, Part 4
If a person wants advice that he or she can depend on, they need a connection to a tzaddik. The tzaddik connects a person to truth. Truth connects a person to emuna and emuna brings Geula. But that's not simple. There's heavy opposition, and that's the Scorpio...
Thu, 08 Feb 2024 - 1h 04min - 606 - The Cedars of Lebanon: Psalms 27-29
The more a person gets to know the Almighty, the more he or she wants to praise His Name. All of creation knows its Creator and incessantly sings in reverence to Him. Hashem is the ultimate good, omniscient and invincible. He is also absolute truth and justice. Nothing escapes Him, neither the slightest good deed nor the schemes of sinister people. The more we trust in Him, the happier we are.

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 - 07min - 604 - Seeds of Truth: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 7, Part 3
Rebbe Nachman teaches us the importance of taking advice from the right person. Advice is tantamount to marriage. Therefore, one must be extremely careful who he or she takes advice from. Most people are extemely indiscriminate about whom they allow to enter into their mind and spirit. Why let someone who is less than meritous influence our lives and our way of thinking?
Thu, 01 Feb 2024 - 53min - 603 - The Path of Humility: Psalms 24-26
King David teaches that a humble individual is never lost or bewildered. The truly humble person merits Hashem's personal guidance. That way, he or she is always walking on the right path.
Wed, 31 Jan 2024 - 1h 02min - 602 - The Covet Culprit: Parshat Yitro
Many people don't understand why "You shall not covet" became one of the Ten Commandments. The Torah specifically says, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife… nor anything that is your neighbor's" (Exodus 20:13). A person shrugs his shoulders in innocence and protests, "What did I do wrong? Did I steal? Did I kill? Did I commit adultery? So what if I found that other woman attractive? I didn't touch her! I didn't even speak to her!" That's where the evil inclination, dressed up as the covet culprit, gets gullible people to jump in a boiling pot of troubled waters...
Tue, 30 Jan 2024 - 06min - 601 - Emuna and Truth: Likutei Moharan I, Torah 7, Part 2
Rebbe Nachman teaches that one cannot possibly obtain emuna until he or she commits to search for the truth. That means putting aside personal agendas and objectively looking for the intrinsic good and what is genuinely upright.
Thu, 25 Jan 2024 - 51min - 600 - Calming Waters: Psalms 22-23
No one suffered the amount and severity of tribulations that King David did. Yet, he found solace in his unswerving trust in Hashem. In history's best-known Psalm, he shows us how to find the calming waters in a world of turbulent seas…
Wed, 24 Jan 2024 - 54min - 599 - No Solution in Sight: Parshat Beshalach
Israel is now in a situation where no viable solution is in sight. Any massive attack on Hamas central command endangers the hostages, whom the terrorists use as a human shield. Negotiating with Hamas simply perpetuates their power. What do you do in such a situation? This is the same exact predicament that Israel was in at the time of the Exodus from Egypt. See how the Torah is the blueprint for current events, especially this week.

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 - 05min - 597 - Beyond Nature: Likutei Moharan I: Torah 7, Part 1
Emuna is above nature. Prayer is also above nature and defies nature. Emuna and prayer are one entity. Miracles too are above nature. So, with emuna and prayer, miracles are natural.
Thu, 18 Jan 2024 - 1h 00min - 596 - Emergency: Psalms 19 - 21

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 1h 01min - 595 - Is There Really Free Choice? Parshat Bo
The Principles of Emuna guarantee free choice for each one of us. Without free choice, there can be no context for reward and punishment. With that in mind, how could the Almighty strip Pharoah of his free choice? Also, what would have happened if the Ten Plagues and the confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh were current events? How would Biden, Blinken and the rest of the world react?
Wed, 17 Jan 2024 - 09min - 594 - Why All the Blessings?
We say over one hundred blessings every day. There's a blessing for waking up in the morning. We recite another blessing before going to sleep at night. Everything we eat and drink requires a blessing. Then, there are additional blessings when we finish eating. After answering the call of nature, there is a required blessing. We haven't yet scratched the surface. What's the purpose of so many blessings?
Mon, 15 Jan 2024 - 03min - 593 - Voice from Above: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 2, Part 4
In our concluding lesson of Torah 2, we learn the connection between the purity of speech and personal happiness. Both are connected to the Sabbath and to the notion of gratitude. We also learn how to attain all four levels of upright speech.
Thu, 11 Jan 2024 - 48min - 592 - My Rock: Psalm 18
King David had one main preparation for battle – Psalm 18. And, when the battle was over, he had one mode of debriefing – Psalm 18. In fact, Psalm 18 was his secret weapon. It worked for King David and it can work for all of us.
Wed, 10 Jan 2024 - 55min - 591 - The Depth of Gratitude: Parshat Va’era
Gratitude is one of the most vital - if not the most vital - character trait a person could have. It's the key to happiness and to faith. So much so, that the Almighty personally taught Moses how very profound gratitude is. We see this lesson in this week's Torah portion, Va'era.
Wed, 10 Jan 2024 - 07min - 590 - Emuna in the Dark
When we say the "Shema" prayer - our declaration of faith in Hashem, we cover our eyes. But why? What's the significance? Since we're not robots, we should understand what we're doing and why. Let's therefore get some answers...
Mon, 08 Jan 2024 - 05min - 589 - Perfect Speech: Likutei Moharan II, Torah 2, Part 3
Expressing gratitude reveals the light of truth, for gratitude is truth. Going a step further, Rebbe Nachman teaches us that truth perfects our speech. In that respect, gratitude leads to perfect speech.
Thu, 28 Dec 2023 - 54min - 588 - The Holy Mountain: Psalms 14-17
What do you do when your heart is breaking? How do you cope when you feel all alone and no one understands what you're up against? Pick up King David's Psalms. King David dealt with the same challenges you deal with now. He has the right words for you, especially in Psalms 14 – 17.
Wed, 27 Dec 2023 - 1h 14min - 587 - Spiritual Cardiology - Likutei Moharan II, Torah 2, Part 2
We all know that when a person encounters danger, his or her heart pounds. One can easily identify physical parameters of the cardiovascular system, such as pulse and blood pressure. But spiritually, what's going on inside the heart and the blood stream? Rebbe Nachman explains…
Thu, 21 Dec 2023 - 46min - 586 - Vanished Nations: Psalms 10-13
The four highly dramatic Psalms 10, 11, 12 and 13 were King David's cries from the depth of his soul. He felt all alone. He couldn't understand why the evil people were succeeding on all sides and the righteous were downtrodden. His heart ached at the success of the tyrants at the expense of the meek and the helpless. He couldn't understand why Hashem seemed to be closing a blind eye to evil, crime and blasphemy. Then, when all seems lost, King David makes his comback. We can all relate to these four Psalms. Reciting them is a ticket to salvation.
Wed, 20 Dec 2023 - 52min - 585 - A Taste of Paradise: Likutei Moharan II - Torah 2
Rebbe Nachman teaches that a people are capable of uplifting themselves from the pits of depression with no outside help. What's more, they can even taste paradise. We learn today how to bask in the light of the World to Come already in this world. This is a level of happiness that no one can attain by material means. It's attainable too.
Thu, 14 Dec 2023 - 50min - 584 - The Baby’s Prayer: Psalms 7 - 9
King David reveals deep secrets of the soul in the Book of Psalms. In today's lesson, we learn how unborn babies and newborn babies have the ability to communicate with the Almighty in prayer. These prayers are so powerful that they generate Divine salvation. As in every other aspect of emuna, we must put logic and intellect aside. Emuna defies logic.
Wed, 13 Dec 2023 - 1h 00min - 583 - Why Aren’t You Happy?
Chanukah is a time of gratitude. It's also one of the best opportunities for soul-searching and self-assessment. Sitting by the flickering candles of holiness, we open a window to our souls. Let's look inside and ask ourselves why we're not happy...
Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 05min - 582 - Lights of Glory: Likutei Moharan Torah 14, Part 4
The more we elevate Divine glory, the more lights of glory illuminate the earth. Rebbe Nachman teaches the act of bringing others closer to Hashem elevates Divine glory. People who gain enhanced proximity to Hashem therefore brighten the world. We conclude Torah 14 by learning that Chanukah is that very same aspect. Chanukah candles are lights of glory that illuminate the world.
Thu, 07 Dec 2023 - 58min - 581 - Secure Solitude: A Lesson on Psalms 4 - 6
King David teaches us how to live in security, both on a personal and national level. He also provides us with timeless advice for making our prayers much more powerful. These three Psalms are conducive for protecting ourselves against our enemies, both physical and spiritual.

Rabbi Lazer wounded soldiers in Barzilai Hospital, Ashkelon yesterday, December 6, 2023. This hero has a bullet lodged in his hip bone and needs a major op to get it out.

May Hashem give a speedy and complete recovery to all our heroes, amen!

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 - 52min - 578 - A Tree on the Riverbank: Psalms 1-3
After last week's introduction to the Book of Psalms, we now learn the first three Psalms. King David is a role model for all of us. His soul was a kaleidoscope of all of our souls. Therefore, as Rebbe Nachman teaches, each one of us can see ourselves in the Book of Psalms. They reflect our pain and struggles. The Psalms open our hearts and enable us to express ourselves from deep down inside.
Wed, 29 Nov 2023 - 1h 01min - 577 - Holy Humility: Likutei Moharan Torah 14, Part 2

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 - 47min - 576 - David’s Song: An Introduction to The Book of Psalms
As the "all inclusive" soul, King David's soul was a kaleidoscope of all our souls. His suffering was a compendium of all of our suffering. David's song, his Book of Psalms, is therefore our song, for every person on earth for posterity. No wonder that the Book of Psalms is by far history's greatest best-seller. These Psalms are capable of arousing the heart. So much so, that tears often well up in our eyes when we recite them. Those who say Psalms with sincerity can literally find themselves and their own circumstances within David's holy words. Here's why...
Wed, 22 Nov 2023 - 58min - 575 - Miracle on Highway 34

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 - 50min - 573 - Quiet in the Storm
In Israel, there's no longer anyplace to hide. With missile attacks now reaching every area of the country, everyone is exposed to potential danger. Increasing threats of antisemitic violence overseas means that there's no escaping from the storm of stress and anxiety anywhere in today's world. Yet, there is one place where a person can find quiet within the storm. Open up Psalm 62...
Wed, 15 Nov 2023 - 53min - 572 - The Lesson of Ziklag: An Emuna News Analysis
Earlier today, a Hezbollah missile struck a number of civilian vehicles near the northern community of Dovev, near the border with Lebanon. Six of the casualties were Israel Electric Corporation employees who had arrived to repair damaged power lines. Such an attack against civilians would cross any nation's red line. Yet Israel, despite daily threats to Nasrulla and Hezbolla, still acts in restraint. In stark contrast, the narrative of Samuel I:30 is uncanningly similar to today's war. Let's see how King David reacted after consulting with the Almighty. The lesson of Ziklag is the Tanach's definition of deterrence.

Thu, 09 Nov 2023 - 39min - 570 - Composure in Conflict
Anxiety and even panic often occur when a surprise trouble or challenge hits the unsuspecting victim. Unfortunately, most people are unprepared when life's unpleasant surprises ambush them.

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 - 59min - 569 - Kids in Captivity and Cold Truth
For the morally bankrupt UN, funneling fuel to Hamas is "humanitarian aid." Freeing orphaned toddlers from the hellish nightmare of captivity in murderer's dungeons is not. Why? The toddlers are Jewish.
Tue, 07 Nov 2023 - 06min - 568 - Israel’s Dilemma
Today's Emuna News analysis discusses how Israel and the IDF now face a terrible dilemma. The prudent course of action would be to tighten the siege around Hamas in the tunnels until there's no more fuel and food. Yet, that can take time. And, with every passing day, world opinion turns against us. That's not all. Our supposed friends called Biden and Blinken are pressuring Israel into doing things against our own best interests. They want us to allow fuel shipments to the Gaza strip in addition to other so-called humanitarian aid that will certainly end up in Hamas hands. On the other hand, if Israel races time and tries to force Hamas out of the tunnels via conventional combat means, our soldiers could suffer terrible losses. Is this, Heaven forbid, a no-win situation? The answer, as expected, is not a logical one...

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 - 46min - 566 - A Time for Trust
No one on earth, no matter how it might seem otherwise, has a trouble-free life. Therefore, bitachon - the firm trust in the Almighty - is a priceless spiritual asset. A person's level of true bitachon is gauged under fire, when he or she is bombarded with troubles. Trying times put a person's bitachon to the test, as the Torah itself testifies: "In your distress, when all these troubles befall you" (Deuteronomy 4:30). Here's what happens when a person has strong trust in Hashem...

King David had arms of steel but that's not how he won wars. His prayers were words of steel, stronger than bunker busters. Not only that; his prophetic message in Psalm 83 shows exactly what's happening in Israel's war against Hamas this very moment.
Wed, 18 Oct 2023 - 36min - 556 - The Biden-Blinken Betrayal
This Emuna News update reveals the real purpose of US President Biden's and Secretary of State Blinken's visit today to Israel.

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 - 16min - 555 - First Aid for Fear
There are two treatments for fear - before and after. The "before" is very effective. Yet, in the cases of extreme fear when symtoms of post-trauma begin, the "after" treatment provides immediate relief. Both are simple.
