Don’t Take Revenge
I’m studying Sefer HaChinuch — a 14th Century working enumerating all the mitzvas in the Torah — with a rabbi. Today we studied the mitzva of not taking revenge. If someone does something bad to me, I want to hurt … Continue reading
Better To Be A Flea On A Lion Than The Leader Of Mice
From my live cam chat: guest27: Hey Luke, I saw your video on why you converted to Judaism and chose Orthodoxy. I converted to non-Orthodox Judaism myself but I am seriously considering an Orthodox conversion because it also seems like … Continue reading
Trembling With Excitement To Join The Jewish People

This is an excellent book by Sandy Hotchkiss. I heard of it from Dr. Stephen Marmer, a psychiatrist, who was speaking on Dennis Prager‘s radio show. Like most narcissists, I became one to overcome early childhood shame. Feeling superior and … Continue reading
It Was Long And Hot
I’m referring to my Passover. Like all Jewish holidays with the extra day of yom tov (holy day) because we live in the diaspora, it was more of an endurance test than a spiritual uplift. I want to join Dennis … Continue reading
‘The Torah’s Antipathy To Equality’
Dennis Prager was asked to contribute to a men’s commentary on the Torah. His essay is on the Torah’s antipathy to equality. For instance, the doctrine of choseness (that the Jews are God’s chosen people) is contrary to equality. Listen … Continue reading →
