When we proclaim what we want, we have the ability to create miracles!
Israel is at war with Hamas. Each and every Jew is fighting this battle. Some Jews are on the ground, fighting with guns and tanks; that is the physical war. However, even if you are not fighting the physical war, you can still be engaged in the spiritual war. We are all Spiritual Warriors, each of us helping to win this war in our own way. Orly speaks to us about how each Jew can do something that they connect with in order to help Israel win the war. Some people bake challah, others send much needed items to Israel, and you should do what resonates with you. Orly shares an interesting story about how her friend, who loves to drive, donates her time driving goods all around Israel to those who need them. We are all soldiers in Hashem's army; we all have to man our post in our own way.
Orly talks about a few of the campaigns that she is implementing on the spiritual war front to help protect the soldiers. Through her free app, Abraham's Legacy, she holds an event every evening, Sunday-Thursday, via Zoom (link below) where people read Tehillim (Psalms), finishing the entire book of psalms multiple times a night. Psalms are a HUGE spiritual protection for our soldiers!
Orly also speaks about the mitzvah of netilat yadaim (spiritual washing of the hands.) She has a company called Netilah, which makes special hand washing cups made our of 100% pure copper. Copper has a tremendous connection to healing. Aside from being a natural antibacterial metal, kabbalistically, copper has a deep spiritual purpose. Copper connects with and purifies water upon contact; it protects the water before it reaches your hands. For more information on Netilah, please visit www.netillah.com
There is a link between our voices, which we use for davening (praying), and our hands. When we refrain from speaking badly about others, we purify our voices. When we have pure voices, our prayers can reach G-d more quickly and easily; they don't get stuck in the energy of negativity. We can achieve this purification of our voices by JUDGING OTHERS FAVORABLY and speaking well of others. When we think good, we speak good. Think good, and it will be good.
Regarding our hands, when we sleep 1/60 of our soul dies. Death is considered impure. When we wake up from sleep, we use a netilat yadaim cup (also known as a klee), to do a spiritual washing of our hands, which Orly explains to us. This washing of our hands, done slowly, and with focus and good intention, can purify our hands. When our hands are purified, the things that we do with them are elevated; baking challah, cooking, making cards for soldiers, packing supplies for the IDF, etc. What you do with pure hands and pure intentions is an elevated mitzvah.

In trying times such as these we find ourselves asking what can we do to help? Tefillah has always and will always be something we can turn to. As we know every prayer said, every chapter of Tehillim brings a tremendous level of protection. And so Orly asks you to join her each night for 30 minutes at 8:30pm Israel time to read Tehillim in unison.

Rebbetzin Leah Shemtov, Executive Co-Director of Chabad of Stamford-Jewish Center for Life and Learning opens our eyes to the fact that challah is not just bread--it's SO much more! Women have the power to bring out and elevate the hidden. Challah is recognition that everything we have is from Hashem. The MORE we recognize that what we have is from Hashem, the more abundance and blessings He will give to us.

Rebbetzin Debbie Greenblatt is a popular lecturer, columnist and coach on a wide range of topics, including Jewish thought, marriage and relationships. She is also the founder of the Women's Division of the Gateways kiruv organization, as well as the educational director of a mentorship program through Core.
In this deep and powerful interview, Rebbetzin Debbie talks about developing the character trait of ayin tov--a good eye. She tells us that the soul is drawn to the positive, and the body is drawn to the negative. In order to combat that negative pull, we have to cultivate a positivity bias to judge others favorably, and to see our circumstances in life in a positive light.
It's important to note that eyes take in, and also, eyes transmit. It is possible to transmit a tremendously positive effect on a person or a situation, by seeing it through the perspective of a "good eye." Rebbetzin Debbie illustrates this point by telling a true story, involving Bibi Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin.
Having an ayin tov does not refer to the strength of our sight; it refers to the generosity of our vision.
Goodness is hidden beneath the surface, and you need to dig deeply to find it.
Powerful interview!!

Miryam Swerdlov is the wise Jewish woman behind the inspirational and meaningful "Coffee with Miryam" videos and What's App messages. In this very real, engaging and funny interview, Miryam talks to us about how to believe in ourselves and how to pursue the life path and mission that was meant uniquely for us. She warns us not to try to be somebody else--it's important that we be ourselves because there is no one in the world who can fulfil the mission that was given specifically to us!
Miryam also encourages us to reach out to other people and connect with them. You never know how much a phone call or a visit means to someone. You can make a huge difference in a person's life, just by extending yourself to include them.
Be real! Use what you have--your strengths, your abilities, your talents--in order to be the best you possible. Live your life to the fullest!

Rebbetzin Chana Deutsch, a member of the World Mizrachi Speakers Bureau, is a relationships expert and mentor. She specializes in helping women foster the connection, intimacy and love that they desire in a relationship.
In this funny and engaging interview, Rebbetzin Chana shows women how to step into their authentic selves. Our husbands want to love us for who we are. We are the most beautiful, attractive and sexy when we are real. When we give ourselves the permission to be ourselves, we are able to give ourselves exactly what we need, instead of waiting for our husband to give it to us, and end up disappointed and filled with resentment.
Rebbetzin Chana emphasizes that communication is integral to marriage. In order to have strong communication between a couple, we must create a sense of safety so that our husband will feel comfortable talking to us. We need to listen to our husband without rejecting him or his thoughts. If something is important to him, make it important to you because you love him. This creates a safe space for him to share his thoughts and feelings with you.
Also, Rebbetzin Chana reminds us that "different doesn't mean wrong." The way your husband does things may be different from the way you do them, but it doesn't mean that it's the wrong way. When we accept our husband for who he is, and show him respect through acceptance, we open up the opportunity for him to come closer to us.
Above all, remember to embrace yourself as a woman. You are enough!
