    That is why we should not eat animals. That right there is why I went from being a kosher-keeping Jew to a vegan kosher-keeping Jew. That divine energy that flows through all animals is sacred. It is not our place to destroy it. It is holy and should be respected. We are not alone in having emotions, feelings and caring. We are not the only species to love and care for and about our babies. It is undeniable.

    I am 60 years old,  I am just now trying to find joy and peace and faith in Hashem. I'm a Jewish woman but we never practiced or learned. I hope it's not too late for me.  I need guidance. I'm tired of living a sad,  frightening life. Can you make a recommendation for a basic beginners path?

    I meditated tonight when listening to Kaddish at shul about how I was fulfilling my purpose - based on what the Ramban says at the end of Parshas Bo regarding acknowdging Hashem in Shuls. This lecture is so powerful ! YK to Rabbi YY!

    It was said that to reach organic Simcha one should

    Let go of facades, concealment etc and then inner natural Simcha will shine.

    At another occasion it was said that a top therapist said that when all terutzim, justifications, excuses, rationalizations etc are gone then he has reached the real inner core, the real essential desire of the patient and healing can begin.

    These two concepts seem to be inter-related.
