Aliya Success Story

Breslev Israel is delighted to introduce you to Rivka Levy, one of the most special people you'd ever want to meet. She and her husband Reuven with their two daughters came to Israel from the UK several years ago. Since their arrival, they've been investing their main efforts in strengthening the spiritual side of their lives, particularly emuna. The Levy family is a picture-book aliya success story. Even though they live in Gush Etzion with hostile neighbors close by, they can still declare that Eretz Yisrael is The Safest Place on Earth.

Rav Shalom Arush teaches us that with emuna, we know that all our difficulties in life are simply cobblestones in the path of life that Hashem designates for us, all tailor-made and all for the very best.

A seventeen year-old wants to strengthen his faith. He finds himself in a King-Solomon type dilemma, torn between his father and Hashem. Be sure to read Who Do I Pick, Dad or God?

Truth is eternal. The Torah is just as true and alive today as it was 3,321 years ago when Hashem gave it to Moses on Mount Sinai. For example, health and nutrition experts are rediscovering the wealth of the Rambam's advice. Read all about it in The Relevance of the Rambam.

Breslev Israel continues with its weekly lessons in Kabbalah and Family Purity.

The root of our ills is Jerusalem - the lack of our Holy Temple and the Divine Presence within our midst. Rather than crying out to Hashem, most of us are tacitly agreeing to the dissection and ultimate surrender of Jerusalem, G-d forbid, the heart of the Jewish people. Read all about it in this week's editorail, Radiated Pain.

Descending from the Throne will help us appreciate our parenthood. Breslev Kids can enjoy Part 8 of the Boastful Buck.

This week's Torah portion is Chayei Sarah. We wish you a wonderful week, with success and good tidings, amen.
