LH: Breaking The Night

Rabbi David Yisrael Kalmus – E-M-U-N-A-H! Everything come from Hashem …..because he loves us.

Personal Thoughts – The Rabbi reinforces past lessons on how to deal with life through the prism of emunah (instead of the common way through the prism of nature). This is a complete paradigm shift for society at large (and me personally). Not easy with eyes wide open.
