More From Rabbi Schneerson
Your true place is a place of light. Even if you find yourself in the midst of darkness and sorrow, you must remember this is not your home. Your essential self lives in a bond with the Source of Light. From there, it extends a glimmer of itself below to transform the darkness. Our mission in life is not to shake up the world but to fasten its pegs; not to climb to the heavens and holler and roar, but to walk softly on the ground; not to create a storm but rather a dwelling, an earthly home for...

World Dominion
One of the things I love about Blogit is the dialog that ensues after a blog is posted. Take, for instance, my "What is a Zionist Banker" post. It drew the usual suspects (and yes, Naut - I sometimes taunt you-know-who with certain buzzwords I know he can't ignore just to show people that there are those like him in this world; many more than I'd like, actually) who live in the alternative universe of conspiracy theories and world control. But then there are those clear-eyed, sensible, rational...

We Are Our Brothers' Keepers
There is a mandate that says, Jews worldwide must watch out and take care of one another. This does not mean that Jews can screw everyone else - we live by the rules of justice and compassion for all. What this does mean is that if there's a Jewish person starving in the Ukraine or in Rangoon (there are 8 Jews in Rangoon, believe it or not), we must all be our "brother's keeper." Today, I went to a presentation made by a director of the "Joint" - shorthand for United Jewish Federation's Joint...

What Exactly is a "Zionist Banker?"
Not for the first time, a rather misguided Blogit member left a comment on one of my blogs with what he probably meant as a racial slur; toting out the old, worn out saw about Zionist Bankers controlling the world's money systems, yada, yada, yada. What and who exactly is this "Zionist Banker." Is it a Jewish Banker? Is it a Non-Jewish Banker who supports Israel? Is it an Israeli Banker? Asked to pin it down, this BM (Blogit member) most likely would not know how to articulate it. Was Bernie...

Another Way to Look at the Financial Crisis
You want to know why you deserve this series of financial woes. Why do you see each thing as a punishment? Perhaps on the contrary, it became time for you to receive much more than ever before from Above. Only that, in order to receive such good, you must first become small. Like the olive, you need to come down from your tree and be crushed to bring out your oil. Like the seed, you must first sit in the ground and loose yourself before sprouting and growing into a mighty oak. Like a metal...
