This episode explores the idea of standing out - and how it can help those of us living in the modern State of Israel.

[28:23] Something Beautiful

Each week we learn about something beautiful in our society. Today's focus is on the purchase of a wheelchair for an active duty soldier. It is a special project that touches me closer than you might imagine: https://my.israelgives.org/en/fundme/Ori_wheelchair

The second episode of Comfort for Israel explores the ideas of finding purpose in the midst of war.

00:30 The body of this podcast is a discussion of purpose, war and Chukim. It is a bit heavy, but I hope it can also be uplifting.

The first episode of Comfort for Israel explores the ideas of Mundane Miracles and why they are so important for the Jewish (and Israeli) people today.

00:22 It all starts with a version of a speech I gave in synagogue this past Shabbat. The show challenges listeners to imagine and share how they'd bring G-d's blessing to life. What is this blessing? The idea of a world without loss and destruction.

15:13 I attempt a little humor, but probably don't get far in Laughing at the World.

17:14 Finally, you can learn about something beautiful in our society. Today's focus is on Smiles for the Kids. You can learn more or donate at: smilesforthekids.com/
