Living Each Day
by: Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
"We can awaken from sleep and turn over to sleep again, arising only when the demands of reality force us out of bed. Or we can awaken with the inspiration to arise and get about our mission to fulfill the Divine will. The choice is ours."
What is that Divine will? Each of us are here for a specific purpose designed by HaShem uniquely for us. It is up to each of us to know and choose it. The Divine will for all Jews, however, has remained the same since the giving of Torah - to be a light to the nations and a repairer of the world. As Rabbi said above: "The choice is ours."
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I wanted to thank all those who have donated to this site, our YouTube & Rumble Channels for your generous support for Shmu's Views on Locals all this time. Your help has been so appreciated. As you may have noticed I no longer post videos and lessons as much as I used to. I have curtailed much of our channels on Locals, YouTube and Rumble for age-related reasons.
As a result, I cannot in good conscience continue to ask for your monthly financial contributions to the site.
Thank you so very much for all you have provided to ensure quality teachings on Judaism and politics.
I would ask that you find another worthy charity or a rabbi who teaches Torah and truth. I know they too would appreciate your support.
Again thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Shmuel ben Shlomi
