For they are my servants

For they are my servants

By the.guard
Often times we may feel down about ourselves. This may come as a result of falling into sin, or just a feeling of disconnect from kedusha and Hashem. We may wonder why Hashem allows us to be thrown down into our situation and we feel abandoned. The Meor Enaim tells us tha...

Taming the Beast

Taming the Beast

By testchart1
Transcript of GYE Boost #548 Chametz on Pesach equals poison, a very strong poison. It’s not even nullified in 1000 parts and any derivative of chametz is also chametz. Our sages compare it to the Yetzer Hara and we are all working very hard to rid it from our homes and t...

Matzah: Letting go of the hot air

Matzah: Letting go of the hot air

By the.guard
I used to be scared of giving up the lust. This was when I was using it as a means to fill an empty void deep inside of me. But when I did much honest soul searching, I was finally willing to take "risks" - which were just in reality "trusting in Hashem" no matter what, a...

Tying our sheep to the bedpost.

Tying our sheep to the bedpost.

By the.guard
The Yetzer Hara is much stronger than us, our only hope is for Hashem to fight him for us. But why would Hashem do such a miracle, especially if we've been sinning and falling for so many years? Perhaps the answer to this question lies in the story of Yetzias Mitzrayim. T...

Messiras nefesh for Mitzvos

Messiras nefesh for Mitzvos

By GYE Corp.
Dear Yidden, Chanukah is all about Messiras Nefesh, which means fighting the evil against all odds. How did the Jewish people survive for so many thousands of years surrounded by so many enemies? It is those few Yidden who are ready to "die" for Hashem that make all the d...

Addiction, Infinity and Divine Service

There’s a famous expression in recovery “Once is too much, and a thousand times is never enough”. This is a profound insight into the nature of addiction, which basically means that giving in even once will send the addict back into the painful cycle of craving and depend...

THE BREAD IN THE PESACH WATER

THE BREAD IN THE PESACH WATER

By testchart1
I'd like to share a Pesach story I heard that I think can give us a good perspective on our struggle with the Yetzer Hara. There was a Yid who was not a chossid, but he was a G-d fearing Jew and he put in tremendous effort in preparing for Pesach. He was makpid on all the...

Yom Kippur, all Jews will somehow find their way to a Shul, they will fast and wish each other a Sweet New Year. Even Jews who never set foot in a Shul, will do the same. Why do they do this? Because this is what Jews do, on Yom Kippur you fast and you go to Shul, don’t a...

The Minimalist Approach

The Minimalist Approach

By obormottel
Yosef HaTzadik is teaching us an approach in life – be a minimalist!  Many try for perfection.  We feel that anything short of perfection is not worth it.  Yosef is saying “Not true.  Accomplish whatever you can accomplish, even if it does not solve the problem, even if it is not a foolproof plan.”  Doing something is better than doing nothing!
