Jewish spirituality grounds our minds, emotions, and behaviors in a loving and compassionate life of Mitzvot.

Why do you go to work – whether to an office, or at home, or homemaking? Do you work hard just to afford the vacation? Or for the security – to secure yourself and family? For fulfillment and a sense of purpose? Since it is such a significant portion of your day and life, it is important to identify the place and mission of your work in life

Such a mystery - the moment of transition from wakefulness to sleep, when your consciousness fades, and the Neshama, your animating energy, enters higher spiritual realms. Transition to sleep is both indescribable and delightful, a nightly gentle general anesthetic

We don’t dichotomize between the ‘holy’ and the ‘secular’. Even the most mundane activities of life are ‘holy’, full of meaning and purpose - an indispensable aspect of creation. There is nothing ordinary in the world – even eating
Rabbi Laibl Wolf (40)
Did you know that you breathe about 1080 breaths every hour? In Jewish teachings an hour is divided into 1080 units, rather than 60 seconds – each one a different configuration of G-d’s creative forces to maintain the cosmos. Each breath is a new phase, thereby constantly changing and evolving the nature of existence

Throw a stick upwards and at some point, having run out of the energy thrust, it falls back to earth. Everything exists because it is propelled into continuous existence through the Divine thrust of infinite energy that keeps it ‘flying upwards’. Were that energy to expire, even for a moment, the world would return to a state of nothingness

Your life isn’t random. It follows a very clear cause-effect relationship. Whatever you think, say or do leaves footsteps in the sands of your life. But, superimposed over your life is a Master Plan that keeps nudging you towards a higher goal. The Plan is embedded within your soul and keeps adjusting your life’s trajectory

Design underlies every aspect of creation. Every physicist, medical researcher, botanist, is utterly awed by the amazing structure and design inherent in all aspects of the world. Mathematics often predicts phenomena that are only later proven by observation – a feat only achievable as a result of purpose, pattern, & design in creation

Spirituality means to viscerally sense the spirituality and meaningfulness in every moment of life. Everything in the world possesses a holy spark that animates it – its soul. Living a spiritual life means to relate soul to soul – with everything in existence

Filial love, a softer, more natural type of love, allows for self- sacrifice. Rabbi Laibl Wolf continues his categorization of different types of love. The love between a parent and child, siblings, close friends and long term spouses can be represented by the intense brotherly love between Yonatan and David. Filial love lends itself to self negation.
