When you feel pain, rejoice!

By GYE Corp.
When we say "no" to the Yetzer Hara and we feel pain, that is not our pain. That is the Yetzer Hara in pain. We are striking HIM where it hurts. And sometimes, when it takes real Messiras Nefesh to turn away from the bad things we used to do, that taste of "death" we may ...

True Simcha Shel Mitzvah

By GYE Corp.
When Moshiach comes - any day now, G-d willing, we will yearn for the days when we had the struggle, when the struggle was so real. There is no greater connection with Hashem than when a person feels that he needs Hashem every second to save him. The Sefer Shamati (from t...

No dead end

By GYE Corp.
Recovery from harmful addictions is like a caterpillar climbing a staircase. For the caterpillar, stairs are a challenge. After a short upwards incline, the caterpillar reaches a plateau, a long flat surface that is not going up at all. Things go smoothly for a while as t...

Running after happiness

By GYE Corp.
People spend their whole lives running after happiness and thinking "if only I had this or that I would be happy". But happiness through physical pleasure disappears the moment the pleasure is gone. One can never get enough and is never happy. This has been shown, time an...

Turn our hearts to the source

By GYE Corp.
We've been working for the past few months with a 20 year old Ba'al Teshuvah, unmarried and schooling in a secular environment. Through great self-sacrifice he has been clean for close to a half a year already. Recently however, he has been feeling a bit frustrated and se...

On the shoulders of their fathers

By GYE Corp.
The Jews who left Egypt didn't make it into the Holy Land. They couldn't believe that Hashem was strong enough to conquer so many powerful nations. But even though they didn't make it, their children did, as is says "and your children who you said would be plundered, the...

NEVER going back there again!

By GYE Corp.
Dear holy Yidden, We might have a tendency to think that after Rosh Hashana and Yom-Kippur when we worked so hard and achieved spiritual heights, the Yetzer Hara won't bother us for a while. I must warn you. It is exactly the other way around. Precisely when there is so m...

Love of Hashem equals 101%

By GYE Corp.
Someone sent us this cute "number Cheshbon" below, based on the ABC. Although obviously this is not a "Gematria" with any real meaning, the lesson it brings out is a powerful truth. (Pictures from the war in Gaza were added for illustrative purposes).If you can't see the ...

BIG incentives

By GYE Corp.
Someone asked us recently after a fall for an incentive to restart his clean count to 90 days. Off the top of my head, I wrote him the following:Our sages say two things:1) "Repent a day before you die". Since we don't know if we will be alive tomorrow, we must always rep...

It is possible

ShomerAiyin had a slip after 12 days and writes: I remember saying "No" to the Yetzer Hara quite a number of times during the past 12 days, so I guess that's gotta count for something. But the fact that I've only been able to string together bunches of clean days separate...

The Making of Diamonds

On our journeys through life, we are often subjected to tests that we could not withstand, and failures that seemed catastrophic and irreversible at the time. We wondered what G-d wanted from us, and why we had to undergo such trials and tribulations. But one day we will ...

The Tightrope
