"Don't fight the roaches..." I love Rabbi Gordon OBM Reply

This life lesson which is presented here by Rabbi Yehoshua Gordon is for me life changing.
I am at a major crossroads in my life as well, faced with many challenges as a middle aged man, and this lesson has provided me great inspiration and new focus on my life.
Although I am a Lutheren, I am suddenly this year being drawn to Judaism and am starting preparations to properly convert to Judaism once it is determined that the time is right and that I am ready.
I cannot explain my sudden belief in Judaism, except that it is very real and something that I feel compelled to follow.
Thank you so much for making these teachings available, as I watch, contemplate, and learn from a different lesson each day. Reply

I am fearful of the future because of the financial situation. In SAfrica I had been injured performing voluntary work and compelled to take early retirement on a static non-liveable pension, 20 years ago. I sought employment again when my eyes recovered, but, despite my doctorate in education and qualifications of numerous teaching subjects acquired at university level, I was unable to acquire teaching posts. I applied for more than 100 jobs, even waiteressing but have not been successful, because. of my white skin. I don't fear being murdered or attacked but how to cope financially with the future. Such is existence in SA under a corrupt system. No solution to my problem Reply

The Rabbi Gordon's words had (and have) fire. May G-d to elevate his soul ever and ever.
Thank you G-d, and thank you Chabad Team. Reply

Great! I'm from Brazil and have no defined religion, ended up finding this because I was googling for "moving forward despite problems" - I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and finding a lot of respite in my (weirdly independent) faith - which I had lost for years.
Even though I never had contact with anything of Jewish nature, this made me cry. It's the sort of wisdom and strength I need to break through the utterly ruined state anxiety can leave us in. It applies perfectly.

Thanks for making such great content available, and good luck! Reply

Always inspiring and with good humor. Your words give me chizuk in a time of world tumult and personal tragedy of the untimely petira of my husband Baruch Avraham ben Benyomin HaKohain . Hakaras Hatov for your effort to bring emunah and bitachon in my dark days. Reply

Thanks Thank you. Reply

200 years? I am confused, Torah says Jews were in Egypt for 430 years. You say 200 years. Please explain.

Thank you, Julie Reply
