EmunahSpeak: A Burning Need
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2012/01/burning-need.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Sunday, January 22, 2012. EmunahSpeak: So Say Something Already! We spoke of wants versus needs vis á vis tefillah in the context of having. As in Tatte, I have a need! That’s enough in itself,. We said over there because your need. And we ended with: your desires (wants) are another story. But wants and needs can also be juxtaposed in relation to doing. As in those who want/wish. To do or, more accurately, those who want/wish. If you merely want.

EmunahSpeak: Nu?
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2011/07/nu.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Monday, July 11, 2011. So Where’s Moshiach anyway? The truth is that he is in front of your house with the engine running and he wants to get out of the car already. So what’s he waiting for? It might be better to start with what he is not waiting for. He’s waiting for. 8220;O Rebbe of Lapush, have you concluded your petition? When Mashiach arrives, the Jews will repent. In the meantime, it is of utmost importance that the Jews love one anothe...

EmunahSpeak: The Yesod of Teshuva
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-yesod-of-teshuva.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Sunday, July 29, 2012. The Yesod of Teshuva. EmunahSpeak: A Real Deal Teshuva. We said that, Teshuva is not a once a year spiritual form of Pesach cleaning or something to be pulled out of the bull pen on the ruchniyas equivalent of rainy days, to level out the speed bumps that we invariably hit as we navigate our way through the minefield of life’s challenges. But unless one digs down deep, foundation wise in Av, the how, what, and why. To do Tes...

EmunahSpeak: Gevalt!
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2015/07/gevalt.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Sunday, July 19, 2015. This pretty much sums up our collective reaction to that little bit of treason that President Nimrod worked out with the Iranians, yimach shemam. So what to do? On December 15, 2012 we posted a piece entitled,. There is No Other Solution,. In response to the dust up that was taking place in Gaza at that time. It was the only solution then and even more so now, so we are re-posting it. Saturday, December 15, 2012. But these a...

EmunahSpeak: Sackcloth and Ashes
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2015/07/sackcloth-and-ashes.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. No, we're not talking Tisha B'Av here. For that we would do well to follow the prescription of Reb Gutman Locks:. First off, the destruction happened because Jews hated Jews without reason, so the main, if not sole avoda. Rav Kook z"l, put it all in two words: Ahavas Chinom. And is not the concept of ahavas chinom part and parcel of the mitzvah of to. Love you fellow as yourself? He mitzvah of love your fellow Jew. Means no...

EmunahSpeak: A Moral Free Fall
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-moral-free-fall.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Sunday, July 5, 2015. A Moral Free Fall. Even occasional readers of EmunahSpeak are cognizant of the fact that it is not a forum for current events. As the tag line to our masthead proclaims, we are about emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. But when an event conspires to threaten all of the above it becomes a relevant topic and grist for an iconoclast's jaundiced eye. Has magically morphed into America as we now know. And wha...

EmunahSpeak: The Clarity of Context
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-clarity-of-context.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. The Clarity of Context. In June 2012 we launched GuardYourSpeak which, as its name implies, was dedicated to focusing on all aspects of Shmiras HaLoshon. In short order it became burdensome to maintain both sites, so in recognition of the fact that the material posted on. When assessing the doings of our friend we have nothing in front of us but the bare bones of undefined actions which by themselves are meaningless wit...

EmunahSpeak: The Greatest Nes
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-greatest-nes.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Anyone who knows anything about Jewish prayer is well aware of the fact that Ashrei (Psalm 145) is recited thrice daily. It is also no secret that Ashrei follows the order of the Aleph/Beis, and accordingly it is a snapshot of teva (nature). In the same way that Ashrei moves from Alepf to Taf in a linear path teva (seemingly) moves through its established cycles. Or so we think, but the Meshech Chochma informs us otherwise.

EmunahSpeak: Bomb Shelter Achdus
http://emunahspeak.blogspot.com/2015/06/bomb-shelter-achdus.html
Emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a shmeck of geula. Monday, June 15, 2015. Once again, the sound of the Red Alert sirens can be heard in the south of Israel, and that invariably means a pit stop in the closest bomb shelter. 8220;O Rebbe of Lapush, have you concluded your petition? No one who made a difference gave these words the time of day, neither then nor now, a hundred years later. And that includes funerals, for as we pointed out in the same essay:. And yet, when a family of Torah Jews is sla...
