How to keep the fire burning now that God is igniting it again? With the seemingly inevitable creeping numbness, the routines, the indignities, won’t the fire blow out — just like it did the other times? This class expressed so many beautiful truths that I knew, and didn’t know, and need to hear. Reply

A Taste of Text -Tzav By Chana Weisberg How to Sustain your Passion 3/2019 As was mentioned in your class which I found very encouraging, "Inspiring words which come from a loving heart can more easily enter the hearts of others," while discouragement, or criticism often cause people to give up or even abandon the essential contributions they might have made which are needed so much in the world. So In addition to playing a role in the "fire's" on going presence within, by keeping the fire alive we help fuel the fire in others. It appears to be one and the same.
It certainly "creates a very positive environment" which is a central tenet of Chabad. (In Ha Yom Yom - a book of Chabad Chasidic wisdom in a daily format), it is written that whatever a person has going on within directly affects how they see and interact with the world, other people and G-d Himself. And delineates how important it is to make a sincere effort wherever one is to establish an "environment" conducive to giving to and caring about others... loving one another is crucial. Reply

Thank You! That is beautiful! This is exactly what I tell my clients, I am mental health therapist in a Baltimore City hospital, where there is a lot of apathy and depression. I feel so blessed and honored to be here serving the people of Baltimore City, and helping them to reignite their flame, their passion, their love. Reply
