If you feel down for some reason, watch the following 3-minute clip. It will pick you up. My gift to you today is a 3-word saying that you must tell yourself as soon as you sense the slightest bit of sadness or depression: Hashem Loves Me. It's true, and it kills the evil inclination. Enjoy.
My esteemed friend "Sitting Owl" is one of the distinguished elders of the Cherokee Nation in Tennessee. Recently, Emuna Outreach sent him some of our emuna CDs. Here's his reaction:
Dear Rabbi Wolf Brother,
NO words can explain the Blessings I received from listening very carefully to the CD's you sent me...we will be using these in our counselling to our Cherokee People. Wado equa (Many thanks), Sitting Owl
Rabbi Shalom Arush and I are pleased to announce the release of our latest CD, "Stop Crying." This CD is a master key for unlocking all the gates of whatever salvation you need.
Think a minute...
Does a champion athlete complain because of a difficult workout? No - he knows that his exertion in training will make him a champion. Instead, he's extremely grateful to his coach. Even though the coach puts on a tough exterior, the champion athlete isn't fooled - he knows that the coach cares about him...
Do you think that Hashem is any less compassionate than the champion's coach? By no means! Hashem is more loving and caring than the most affectionate parent. That's why the root of our troubles is ingratitude, failing to thank Hashem for everything He does for us.
This eye-opening CD is a master key that unlocks blessings for you. It could even save your life...
You can order "Stop Crying" online from our Emuna Beams Book & CD store. Have a great week!

Rav Shalom Arush and I are pleased to announce the release of our three newest CDs in English - The Road to Happiness, Coming Close to the Tzaddik, and Sunrise:
This is an elaboration of one of my favorite Rebbe Nachman tales - "The Clever One and the Simple One." This story puts us on the road to happiness.
A person with emuna doesn’t envy anyone else in the world. He doesn’t need covet anything others have, nor does he speak a single syllable about anyone else. He knows that they have their lives, and he has his. A person with emuna knows that Hashem has magnificent precision tailor-made Divine providence over every single creation in the universe. Therefore, the simple shoemaker could be immensely happy, knowing that whatever he did was directed by Hashem’s own personal intervention in his life. That’s why he danced and rejoiced no matter what he ate, or no matter how much money he made, or whatever his finished shoes looked like. You'll love this CD.

If we don’t have the ability to strengthen ourselves when facing a pressure or a high-stress situation, then we either develop serious neuroses, anxiety, or turn to crutches like eating or substance usage. Let’s go a step further – if a person has the ability to strengthen himself under pressure, then he’ll never need an analyst or a psychologist in his life. Consequently, hitchazkut, strengthening ourselves in emuna, is the vital element in the service of Hashem.
The person with the ability to strengthen himself in emuna never cries or complains and always does his best to make the best out of a given situation. Such a person makes the best husband in the world, because his wife feels calm and confidant and secure – her husband smiles at her no matter what. Nothing seems to defeat him – not personal problems, not financial problems, and not health problems.
This priceless CD will help you strengthen yourself emotionally and spiritually, and give you the happiness and confidence you need to be a winner.

Rebbe Natan warned that once you finish your 120-year go-round on this earth, and the Heavenly Court wants to sentence you with a punishment of another reincarnation, what we call gilgul, in this physical world, don’t agree under any circumstance. But, if the Heavenly Court promises that you’ll be able to spend even one Rosh Hashana in Uman with Rabbenu, then accept the gilgul – it’s worth it…
The Rebbe is still very much alive and with us. Not in the corporal sense, but spiritually. Without the limitations of a physical body, the Rebbe’s power is ever so greater. Rebbe Nachman’s daughter Sarki once asked him, “Tatty (father in Yiddish), what will be when you are no longer with us in the flesh?” Rabbenu promised his daughter that if she came to his gravesite, it would be just like talking to him from an adjacent room…
This amazing CD tells the secret of Rebbe Nachman's Rosh Hashana in Uman. A must hear!

It's all coming down. The various prophecies about the Geula (the full redemption of our people) that appear throughout the Gemara have been fulfilled to the letter. So why is Hashem prolonging the exile?
Rebbe Nachman of Breslev says (Likutei Moharan I:7), that the exile and diaspora are perpetuated because of a lack of emuna. For that reason, Rav Shalom Arush and I have dedicated our lives to spreading emuna in the world.
Emuna Outreach is doing everything in its power to make emuna books and CDs readily accessible to everyone. Despite the fact the the dollar has lost 26% in value during this past year, we haven't raised prices. How? We've been working day and night to find less expensive alternatives for our printing and CD recording, and we've been printing in much greater amounts. All these savings have been passed on to our consumers. Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we've not only sent spiritual care packages of books and CDs to border settlements, to the spiritual rehab program of local prisons, and not only to the IDF, but also to the US forces in Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recently to Korea.
Now, we're taking another step forward for our private consumers. We have separated the shipping expenses from the book and CD prices. So, all unit prices are lower. On top of that, Emuna Outreach is now providing free international airmail shipping to anywhere in the world for orders over $25. For orders over $150, Emuna Outreach is providing free EMS (4-business-day) shipping.
As you'll notice on the top right-hand toolbar, we now have sets of 20 CDs each packed in an attractive CD carrying case and also at a considerable discount.
Rav Shalom Arush says that the greatest lovingkindness a person can do in this generation is to help someone strengthen emuna. Today, that's a simple mitzva - just hand the person an emuna CD or a copy of The Garden of Emuna.
The faster we spread emuna, the quicker we'll see our own personal redemption, as well as the national redemption of our people, very soon, amen!
