Worth listening to

Even though this talk is 9 years old, and Israel has built a wall to keep the terrorists out, and there has not been any terrorist attacks in the USA, the basic lesson here is that there is a purpose and meaning to my life, and everyone's life. And this is why people seek spirituality. And that purpose is individual kindness of one person for another person.

Prayer

If every human being is a vision of G-d how should we pray for our govts to wipe out terrorism? is it to kill torture and persecute terrorists or to show love kindness understanding and forgiveness.....?

about "An oasis..."

Rabbi YYJacobson has the power of saying, sometimes what we've heard from any other Rabi, but not with such a passion, ou precise words. Sometimes it is difficult to listen ( for he is so toched with emotions) for me, specially ( a brasilian) . But I do an amazing work of listening, thousand of times, and recording from the download, to catch the precise words in the middle of his emotion, cause it fills me with the same (maybe) emotion, too.
He is a great inspiration (as his brother, and Rabi Manis Friedman, which one with its own style)for our generation. Thanks.
