The Movie Theater Up in Heaven: You're On!

By obormottel
I have struggled with shmirat habrit, like many of us, my whole life, ever since I was about 10. I always used to think only I had this insane problem, and I felt guilty, sick, depressed, alone, suicidal etc. - that is until, Baruch HaShem, I came across GYE and realized ...

Dear Lust, Thank you for the wonderful time we had together last night! I appreciate how you're always there for me when I need you, when I have no one else to turn to for comfort. And I know that no matter how long we may be apart, you're always waiting patiently for me...

7 Thoughts to Chew On

By obormottel
1. A lot of good luck is undeserved; so is a lot of bad luck. 2. Life is what happens while you are planning your future. 3. Failure is an opportunity to make another, more intelligent, beginning. 4. If you don't learn from your mistakes, making them makes no sense. 5...

How big is Hashem?

A boy asked his father, "Dad, how big is GOD?" Looking up at the sky, his father saw an airplane and asked his son, " How big is that airplane?" The boy responded,"It's small Dad! You can hardly even see it!" Then the father took his son to an airport hanger. Standin...

Vort on Tahara

By obormottel
The Rambam that says that a Mikva doesn't make us pure while we immerse ourselves, but rather when we come out of it, we are purified. I think if we flip that idea over, what is metamei us? Not masturbating itself, but it's what we do afterwards that's really metamei us. ...

A cup of coffee from G-d

By obormottel
A person wakes up in the morning, makes himself a cup of coffee. He puts the bitter coffee in a mug, adds to it the sweet sugar, pours in the boiling water and adds some cold milk. A cup full of contrasts: hot, cold, bitter, sweet. Then he says, “Ribono shel Olam, I...

Calculated move

By obormottel
The Mishna says, "Hevey mechasheiv hefseida neged scharah." Why mechasheiv? Because the yetzer hara doesn't want us to make a cheshbon. It wants us to be filled with a ruach shtus and close our eyes and go with the inertia of doing an aveira. If you think about it in adv...

And their Eyes were Opened

Hashem cares for all our needs, but He asks us not to eat from just one tree: 'Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat from it, you shall surely die.' But when...

The Itch

Every human being has a divine soul. This soul yearns for connection to where it came from, the Almighty Himself--Who is the source of all good, pleasure and oneness. This yearning is known as the “G-d hole”, and it is felt particularly strongly by those who struggle wit...
