Finding Peace in an Anxious World

Sad Hi
have to say i'm a HUGE fan of the wonderful and numerous lectures that I have heard on chabad.org.

As someone who suffers from anxiety I was disturbed at the callous disregard for those who suffer from anxiety: that is on a multitude of occasions you made dismissive jokes regarding anxiety. It is clear the class participants enjoyed that humour and that too is sad. Very dissapointed. Reply

You bring light into this world I loved your lecture on finding peace. Your humor is perfect! Reply

God's Stand up Comedian Thanks for the amazing insights and the "good word." How often is the anxiety evaporated when laughter, sekel (common sense), and chokmah (intelligence) come to take its place! Reply

I enjoyed your premise Finding Peace in an Anxious World. So when does the book come out? Realistically, I don't anticipate I will be able to come to Atlantic City anytime soon. Even returning to New York City (Brooklyn) where I grew up seems an insurmountable challenge (at least at this time). Alas, I am guity of the greatest sin! Wasting my life away (despite that I put on Tefillin -- perhaps to honor the Rebbe). Alas, my local chabbad rabbi doesn't get it. Despite that I attend almost every other shabbos, he fails to lift me up and out of my viper pit -- the food is excellent though hence I keep coming back. But it would be nice if he got it! Number one thing I pray for, especially over Succoth past, parnosa - livelihood. If not now, when? Reply

Thanks for helping to fill a pit with water... Thank you so much for this timeless Torah perspective on a very modern condition. You've provided some wonderful tools to tackling an often debilitating condition like anxiety from a spiritual angle. I've been searching for such powerful and yet simple answers for years and to know they have been right in the Torah all along, well that just figures! Reply
