So much of my past hurt me, I hid so much for so long and used food as a protection from more pain. Now, I’m addicted to food or at least carbohydrates.

Negative Elements of the 10 Commandments
I wrote this a few days ago. For some time now I’ve been writing the Torah and the 613 commandments to help me better understand what the Commandments or Mitzvot are all about.

When the Holy Scriptures teach us to have our lives in order, they are not talking about a neat desk or living room, but a neat life. It’s so very easy to let our lives be clutteredContinue reading “Ordering Your Life”
