From the Appalachian backwoods comes a family so amazing, a story so incredible, and a light so bright — it will illuminate our own lives as well.When Sheryl Youngs married John Massey, she looked forward to a life based on the Biblical principles her parents, members of a small but fervently religious congregation, had instilled in her.What she didn't expect was to be making that life in a shack on a mountain in impoverished Appalachia.And she didn't expect that she would end up living on that mountain, homeschooling her ten children.And she most certainly didn't expect that somehow, incredibly, miraculously, she and her entire family would discover the truth of Judaism, the beauty of Torah - and the Jewish People the entire family would ultimately come to join.This is the story of the pastor's daughter who became a Jew, mother of ten Jews, all devoted to Torah learning and mitzvah observance. It is a story of struggle and search, of searing disappointment and unlooked for hopes, of questions asked and prayers answered.Most of all, it is the story, told in her own words, of a woman whose deep love Torah is an inspiration to us all.

One of the most important contributions of Chasidut to Judaism has been in the realm of psychology. Chasidic teachings interpret and apply the myriad Kabbalistic metaphors to the realm of the human psyche and soul. Yet, for all the expansive analyses and discussion of the human psyche produced by the Chasidic masters (specifically the Rebbes of Chabad-Lubavitch), there has been a pronounced lack of an ordered and modern review of the psyche. In the early years of the 20th century, Dr. Fischel Schneersohn, a colleague of Sigmund Freud and a relative of the then Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber Schneersohn, took it upon himself to translate the Chasidic nomenclature and discourse on the psyche into scientific language that would be useful to the modern psychologist. Unfortunately, for whatever the reasons may be, his yearning to share the Torah’s wisdom on the psyche was not to be fulfilled. Since then, the need for introducing these teachings to the public in general and to the professional field of psychologists has only grown.

This book is an important contribution to the creation of psychology and therapeutic techniques based purely on the Divine wisdom of the Torah and specifically its inner dimensions of Kabbalah and Chassidut. By offering a structured review and explanation of the psyche and its place in the larger and more complex super-structure of the soul, this volume provides a foundational guide for mental and spiritual health practitioners as well as for those wishing to deepen their understanding of Kabbalah and Chassidut.

Emunah. Believe it!

Think about living a life of no stress. No anxiety. No fear. Is it an impossible dream, an unreachable fantasy? Or... can it be achieved? And can YOU achieve it?

Our Sages' clear answer to these life-transforming questions is: Yes. You can live a life of tranquility, serenity and happiness, no matter what is happening around you.

What it takes is emunah, faith. Faith in Hashem and His goodness, belief that He cares for you, knows what is best for you and is completely involved in your life. If you believe that totally - you're on the path to emunah, the road that leads to real happiness.

Living Emunah is based on Rabbi David Ashear's "Daily Emunah" talks, which has transformed the lives of thousands of people. Through the classic lens of Torah thought as well as true-life stories we discover what emunah is and what it isn't, how to strengthen our faith, and how to bring it into our homes, offices, and lives. Each selection is short, readable, and infinitely wise.

As you make your way on the path to emunah be prepared to lose your baggage - the baggage of tension, panic, regrets and angst. You'll feel lighter as you leave your troubles behind, embarking with confidence and joy on the journey of a lifetime - on the path to emunah. Learn More

Do you want to starve your spirit… or feed it?

Do you want to keep your potential hidden… or unlock it?

Do you want to just act alive… or really be alive!

As a master therapist and acclaimed public speaker, Mordechai Weinberger LCSW has helped literally thousands of people build better, more satisfying, and happier lives. Now he shares with us his understanding of the human personality and the ten most powerful concepts he's developed to unlock the strength that lies within each of us.

In this self-help masterpiece, we'll find the way to shed the fears that block our confidence and self-esteem. As we "unlock" our innate power to forgive, to try new things, to connect to our true natures, to accept and grow from our failures, to set boundaries and build self-discipline, we will find a new kind of life unfolding — a life we can embrace with vigor and excitement. The author's ten key concepts work to bring success and satisfaction to all ages and stages, from teenagers to married couples to parents to business entrepreneurs. Case studies and true-life examples show us how to bring these techniques to actual life situations and use them most effectively.

The author's style is upbeat and often humorous, grounded in a thorough understanding of what makes us who we are — and who we can be.

Alive! gives us the tools for self-awareness and self-transformation, so we can leave negativity, anger, and frustration behind, and instead fearlessly reach higher, using our strengths, achieving our goals and finding inner peace. That’s real living! Learn More
