But then, does the forty year old really understand any better. As long as there is wonder, that's all that counts. Amazing flash presentation showing how God creates the world my creating space (like the hole in the bagel). (source: Chabad) http://wejew.com/media/2852/Kaballistic_Secrets_of_the_Bagel/ http://wejew.com/media/2852/Kaballistic_Secrets_of_the_Bagel/ Another cool life lesson from Rabbi Infinity of Chabad on "tightrope walking" life's decisions and challenges. Rabbi Infinity says: The problem with religion is all this talk about faith. Why believe in something just because somebody else--or even a lot of people--believe it is true. After all, why do they believe it? Because they believe someone else. And what kind of proof is that? Because a lot of believers believe, I should believe too? Then there's philosophy. The problem with philosophy is all this talk about reason. Reason doesn't move you anywhere, because for every good reason in one direction, there's always another equally good reason in the opposite direction--and even if you don't know of one, once you've had enough experience with reason proving you wrong you're always going to have that nagging feeling that this is also going to be a dead end. So what's a living, breathing, suposedly sentient being supposed to do? Nobody ever took a risk, made a gamble or invested in a business by force of reason. But only fools do such things on pure faith. The tried and proven approach to life is a proper balance of the two. First you have faith that there is an answer. Nothing can happen without a place to stand. Then you use your mind to look clearly, casting aside preconceptions, assumptions and prejudices. Even if the answer is not what you expected, not what you would like, not where you were planning to head, hey, it's the answer. Then you look again, even deeper. And yet deeper. And then a voice inside says, "Yeah, this is it. I gotta go with this one."--that's when you commit. That's when reason ends and faith takes over. Like a marriage: It starts with an attraction, a kind of faith that this the right one. And it ends with a commitment, that we're going to make this work, no matter what. It doesn't start with reason and it doesn't end with reason. But if there's no reason in between, man can you get in trouble. Once you've done your homework and you know this guy has no history of violence, has got his act together enough to support a family and is who he says he is--or the similar kinds of factors with a gal--then you go beyond that. You get married. Marriage is the point where you say, "Ok, now I can believe in you. Now I have faith. Now, even if one day I wake up and see you lying there makeupless, in your curlers, and even a few wrinkles and grayish hairs, snoring and grumpy-looking after our terrible quarrel last night, still I'm there for you, I believe in you. Really, you started with that faith to begin with. You just needed some reasoning to make sure you're not being duped. So too, the Jew is married to the Torah. He doesn't want to study the books of all those who say he is a fool--just as a faithful husband doesn't want to hear criticism of his wife. Just like an athlete in training doesn't want to hear all the reasons why he might not win. He has 100% faith that he will win--otherwise he would not be killing himself over the grueling rigors of his daily training? Just like the acrobat will not take his eyes off his goal, so the Jew after 3,320 years is not ready to say, "Hey, maybe we made a mistake back there. Maybe we didn't think it through properly after all. Maybe we gave our lives to the Greeks, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, etc. all in vain? Maybe all our history was a big waste after all and our fathers and mothers were plain fools for three millenium?" Okay, if you want, you can think all those things. Just as the acrobat is about to place his foot on the platform at the far end of his rope, he looked back and... http://wejew.com/media/2666/Tightrope_Life_Walking_Kabbalah/ http://wejew.com/media/2666/Tightrope_Life_Walking_Kabbalah/ Zap Your World Flash - Rabbi Infinity gets flashy with his combat laser gun, teaching us how to get life in focus. http://wejew.com/media/2608/Zap_Your_World_Kabbalah_Flash/ http://wejew.com/media/2608/Zap_Your_World_Kabbalah_Flash/ Walking Through Fire - Your own imagination can't burn you, can it?

Superb series and great education for the entire family. (info at: berelwein.com) http://wejew.com/media/2505/Heaven_and_Earth_Flash_Trailer/ http://wejew.com/media/2505/Heaven_and_Earth_Flash_Trailer/ Berel Wein has dedicated many years to promoting Jewish education and has now issued a series of DVDs and high-quality content to pass on Jewish history to a media-hungry generation. Here is a flash trailer to the video on The Rambam, one of the greatest Jewish thinkers and halachic expert in the last 1000 years. His main work - the Mishne Torah - remains to this day a basis for the Jewish understanding of the Biblical commandments. Maimonides's full name was Moses ben Maimon; in Hebrew he is known by the acronym of Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, Rambam. He was born in Spain shortly before the fanatical Muslim Almohades came to power there. To avoid persecution by the Muslim sect — which was wont to offer Jews and Christians the choice of conversion to Islam or death — Maimonides fled with his family, first to Morocco, later to Israel, and finally to Egypt. He apparently hoped to continue his studies for several years more, but when his brother David, a jewelry merchant, perished in the Indian Ocean with much of the family's fortune, he had to begin earning money. He probably started practicing medicine at this time. Maimonides's major contribution to Jewish life remains the Mishneh Torah, his code of Jewish law. His intention was to compose a book that would guide Jews on how to behave in all situations just by reading the Torah and his code, without having to expend large amounts of time searching through the Talmud. Needless to say, this provocative rationale did not endear Maimonides to many traditional Jews, who feared that people would rely on his code and no longer study the Talmud. Despite sometimes intense opposition, the Mishneh Torah became a standard guide to Jewish practice: It later served as the model for the Shulchan Aruch, the sixteenth century code of Jewish law that is still regarded as authoritative by Orthodox Jews. The Rambam become the leader of his generation, as a doctor, rabbi, expert in Jewish law, diplomatic negotiator, and philosopher. http://wejew.com/media/2479/The_Rambam_Film_Flash_Trailer/ http://wejew.com/media/2479/The_Rambam_Film_Flash_Trailer/ Another of the great series: Kaballa Toones.

An innovative and unique institution located in Krakow, Poland, the objectives of the Museum are to challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions typically associated with the Jewish past in Poland and to educate both Poles and Jews about their own histories. At the centre of the Museum is the permanent exhibition, Traces of Memory, a photographic exhibition offering a contemporary look at the Jewish past in Poland.

Between struggling to keep up with orders in the kitchen, tending to the quirky peccadilloes of her three children, and acknowledging the multiple suicide threats made by her unstable mother, aspiring writer Aviva Cohen (Asi Levi) barely has enough time to take the cap off of her pen - much less put that pen to paper and get her stories published. When Aviva's successful sister Anita (Rotem Abuhav) introduces her star-struck sibling to famous author Oded Zar (Sason Gabai) it appears as if things may be finally turning around for the hapless literary wannabe. Unfortunately for Aviva, Oded is suffering from a bad case of writer's block. Soon after accepting Oded's offer to serve as her personal writing tutor, Aviva begins to realize that the man whom she once idolized and who deviously assumed the guise of benevolent mentor is little more than a creatively devoid plagiarist. http://wejew.com/media/1598/Aviva_My_Love_Trailer/ http://wejew.com/media/1598/Aviva_My_Love_Trailer/ Jar of Life - The secret to keeping your priorities straight.

Some airplanes fly because they are pushing air downward. But most of them fly because they are pushing air upward. Don’t believe me? Look here. This is beautiful. It fits so well: Like an airplane, we are placed inside a fluid environment. For airplanes, that’s air. For us, that's reality. Air is fluid because you can move your hand inside it. Reality is fluid, because it’s up to us which direction it goes in. So when we move with enough force and the right design so that we move our fluid environment upward, we move upward as well. Sure, there’s going to be a lot of drag, inertia and friction—and take-off isn’t so easy either. But all that is just evidence that you’re getting somewhere. Basically that means: Take life head-on. Instead of avoiding all the stress, wear and tear of life, use it to your advantage. Let it all just carry you higher. I’m trying to think of some examples.

Accompanied by his assistant, Miranda, Jake uses his vast wealth and resources to track the lone surviving bomber to Egypt-to hunt him down and kill him. But Jake's involvement is just beginning.

Despite being a child, I can recall wondering how such a mental midget could become head of the most powerful nation in the world. However, what was unclear at that time and now is totally apparent is that Jimmy Carter is a textbook and virulent anti-semite rivaling the jihadist of our day. His recent book was a litany of classic Jewish-hating lies. He continues to this day - may Hashem judge him. http://wejew.com/media/794/Carter's_Jew_War/ http://wejew.com/media/794/Carter's_Jew_War/ As a student of history - one can only be amazed at the Nazi-echoes of the modern jihad - and how little the world utilizes islamic history of non-stop aggression to justify a global effort to restore sanity.
