    Thank you for your speech. I went into the website because I wanted to commit suicide. I then realized that I was prisoner of my emotions, I was not free to kill myself. Thank you. Please add my name to your mailing list. I would like to speak / write to the Rabbi if it were possible.

    THis was one of the most powerful lessons because of the simplicity in which we can change ourselves. The "space" that Victor Frankl speaks of is mind altering. Which is basically what we need to do to make a response that will have us change for the better.  Does anyone know if this shiur is also in some sort of essay form to read on shabbos. I wnt to share it with my family.

    Awareness, אין עוד מלבדו, in modern psychology there's much focus on mindfulness, which brings us closer to Gd centered-ness.... the ultimate "liberation "
