Back in 1950 Yemenite Jews arriving in Israel saw water faucets and thought they create water. They knew nothing of the invisible infrastructure of pipes and pumps that made water gush out of the faucet. Similarly there is invisible spiritual infrastructure that makes modern commerce possible. Finding food in the supermarket reliably every day; assuming the light will come on when you flick the wall switch; reaching someone on the other side of the world from your mobile phone; knowing that when...

Co-hosted with Susan Lapin. If you cannot play tennis, your life can still be good. If you can't sing, play a musical instrument, or tell jokes, your life can still be wonderful. But there are five distinct things that are vital for every successful and happy life. What is more, you cannot have 3 out of the 5. It's all five or nothing. In a way, these five things make up an indivisible totality of good living. A good way of thinking of them is as your life's operating system. Everything you do, ...

Why hate the Jews? The honest, true, and deeply uncomfortable explanation for anti-Semitism. Two nations on one island: Haiti is desperate and hopeless. The Dominican Republic is vibrant and successful. What is the difference?

I prefer a sacred Christmas to a secular Christmas. Secularism is not just a fair way to organize a pluralistic society. It exerts a malign influence on civilization. In ways you can't imagine. A guy is really unhappy because his wife lunches with a male colleague a couple of times a week. Is his bank account relevant to this story? Why platonic friendships between men and women between the ages of 15 and 70 never work. Is an emotional affair a thing? What should the unhappy guy do? Remember Mel...

Why the Fossil Fuel vision seems to drag along a vision of shortage, limits, and ultimately poverty. Predictions of running out of coal and oil go back to the 19th century and they've all been wrong. Why do they keep making them? It's almost as if they WANT to run out of energy. What's going on? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life? If ...

Many mistakenly believe that the proliferation of regulations and laws are evidence of a society's sophistication and advance. In reality, that is like saying that all the medications in an old man's medicine chest are evidence of his good health. Preserving a functioning family or a successful society is hard and mostly depends on a rare array of tools. In this show, your rabbi provides a guide to those tools.

In this show we answer the puzzling paradoxes in the previous show. Even the most baffling behavioral enigmas surrender to a coherent moral matrix. A moral matrix answers questions in four main areas: Family, Finance, Friendships, and Fitness. A moral matrix is not time dependent; what was moral years ago will still be moral in years to come. Could a moral matrix emerge by itself in an isolated society? Why do secular/socialistic regimes never endure for very long? Read about Scrolling Through S...

Much of what you say flows subconsciously from your morality matrix. Many of your decisions are made based on your morality matrix. If you don’t have one, you are making a whole bunch of damaging mistakes in your life. With a proper functioning morality matrix you make far fewer mistakes and life is more joyful. With no morality matrix, or worse, a broken one, you are making decisions in finance, romance, and socially that will come back and bite you—if they haven’t already done so. Morality is ...

Dr. Naomi Wolf has been writing left-leaning provocative books and articles since she achieved fame as a feminist leader over thirty years ago. She advised Bill Clinton on his 1996 presidential election campaign, and she advised the Al Gore/Joe Lieberman presidential campaign in 2000. It would seem hard for Susan Lapin and your rabbi to find any common ground with her for a cordial conversation. Most of what she stood for and espoused we considered, and still do, dangerous and destructive drivel...

It is spread from person to person and via media, entertainment, and politics. And when you’ve caught it, you will start believing that we live in a world of shortage.

We’re all attracted to self-improvement. In some way, right? We want to improve our bank accounts; we want to improve our health by losing weight; we want to improve our conversational ability, our memories, our knowledge, our appearance, and much more. We love self-improvement. But we don’t always know that inner improvement is the gateway to all other improvement. It is a bit like wanting to bring in a gardener, a landscaper, and a tree specialist to improve our yard but keeping the gate locke...

This important show describes how wise and stable governments do 2 things really well: they maintain the value of the currency and they protect parent-child relationships. The obvious results are strong families, stable society, and widespread affluence. Tyrannical regimes do exactly the opposite. They debase the currency, seriously eroding its value by causing inflation, and they undermine parent-child relationships. The obvious results are fewer people living in families, more dependency on go...

Women’s bodies produce a few large eggs while men’s bodies produce millions of tiny sperm but here is the real difference between men and women. Why do two similar people who have received the same amount of money not have equal net worth? The natural world does not produce much equality. There are not even two identical electrons.
