"Why are we here & what is the purpose of Life?"
It's nice when we do good and feel good. Yet, sometimes, we do what we know is right and good and don't feel very good while doing it. Our head says "this is the right thing to do" and our heart says " I don't want to do this." What do we do with ourselves when our head and heart conflict?
There’s a saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. That’s not completely true. If you give the horse salt, he becomes thirsty enough to drink. On today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina speaks with Akiva Holinger who shares his journey from the Mennonite faith to Orthodox Judaism and how his thirst for Truth led him there. Join us for another inspirational episode of Leap of Faith you don’t want to miss.
The Purim story has so many significant themes whose lessons can be life changing. One of those themes is the choices that we make and how they not only change us, but reverberate outwards. At times, we may not recognize how significant even small actions can be. Ultimately, we are made by our choices and can make the choice to be a player in G-d'd divine plan.
Something is happening in the world today – not only are Jews turning towards torah, but so are Christians, and Today’s guest, Dr. Rivkah Lambert Adler claims that this is in direct fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah 8:23. Join me in this fascinating interview as I talk with Rivkah about what’s going on!
For most of us, the word “siddur” is synonymous with the word “liturgy”. It conjures up images of people mindlessly reading words from a book without any heart or passion. Most of us don’t think of the siddur as a spiritual journey, but on this episode of Leap of Faith, Penina will be speaking with Rabbi Daniel Kohn, who will be talking about just that – the siddur as a spiritual journey. Join Penina today at 5:00pm IST/ 10:00am EST, for another incredibly inspiring episode of Leap of Faith!
Israel 'launched' a bunch of things last week; a spacecraft to the moon, and two big political mergers.
Have you ever read or experienced something a million times and then suddenly you see it in a completely different light? All of a sudden what you thought about someone or something looks completely different? On today’s episode of Leap of Faith, Penina will be speaking with Kenreanne Davis, a woman who suddenly saw a verse she had read a million times, in a completely different light and it turned her world upside down.
Israeli Justice minister, Ayelet Shaked, who is very popular among many in Israelis, came out with an astounding statement, that she would be willing to give citizenship 2 half a million Arabs living in Area C. What is Area C, and what would giving half a million Arabs citizenship mean to Israel and it's security? Also, last week several Arab countries sat down with Israel at the same table in order to fight their common enemy, Iran. This is a historical event. What does it mean?
Have you ever experienced a moment of absolute clarity, where you know without a doubt that you are in the right place, doing what you are supposed to be doing?
When you see injustice and hear about a wrong, what do you do? Some are apathetic, some cry 'for shame' and others take action. How should we respond to the many wrongs that come to our attention? Many get frustrated when they try to make a change for the good, and feel that their efforts were in vain as little change takes place. Is it our responsibility to try and make a difference in the face of the myriad corrupt and unfair proceedings that go on around us?
Have you ever been so hungry, you’d consider looking in the garbage can for food? In today's segment Penina talks with author Bracha Goetz who talks about her own search for spiritual nourishment.
To what extent should we take our feelings into account when we make a decision. For small decisions like what I am going to eat for breakfast to much larger decisions like who I am going to marry, how great a role should my feelings about the matter effect my final decision? My mind and heart are generally the two parts of myself that I consult in any decision. Should one take a primary role over the other or do both get equal weight?

There is an innate need in every person to feel good about themselves. Why is it that for some, feeling good comes at the expense of putting someone else down. The higher road that leads to longer lasting feelings of real self-worth come from doing good for others. Raising another up through kindness and compassion are the true source of internal strength and self-worth. How can we help ourselves...and others choose the higher road.
There appears to be a trend of some of the more educated class of Arabs living in Gaza who are choosing to leave for another country, to make a better life for themselves and their children. What is making them want to leave, and how hard is it?
To a certain degree, our life is a reflection of the choices we have made. To a certain degree, our life is a reflection of G-dly designed features and circumstances custom designed for each of us. Where do fate and choice meet? Understanding this is the key to living the good life!
The Tosefta Sanhedrin 13:1 tells us that the Righteous of all nations have a share in the world to come – Judaism does not believe that people need to become Jewish in order to go to heaven. Today Penina will be speaking with a couple who are Noahides – righteous Gentiles who are not Jewish but love the Torah. Her guests, Jason and Cherrie Lacross will inspire you as they share their spiritual journey and talk about what it’s like to be Noahides. Another incredibly inspiring episode of Leap of Faith you won’t want to miss!
In one morning, in one area, there were already over 25 stoning/explosives attacks on Israelis. Where and why is this happening? Has the Israeli government's defense strategy gone stale?

There's a saying that sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

What we should really be is our own best friend only making choices that help us become better. What stands in our way?
