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 you go through an intersection on a green light you won't be T-boned by an 18-wheeler barelling through against a red light. How strangers will happily provide what other strangers want. All through the magic of money. When government integrity goes, the judicial system goes, crime comes, and the economy tanks. See the rules here  https://www.wehappywarriors.com/book-of-ruth-free-lesson-signup Use code RUTH15 What happens when five individual farmers working for themselves form a co-op and start collaborating.

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, achieve and enjoy rests on the foundation of a smoothly-running operating system.  We talk of identifying these five things and acquiring them.  We reveal useful tips, tools, and techniques that we have published in our new book, The Holistic You. Read about it here  https://a.co/d/24XdFHh What is the difference between electric cars and polyamorous living arrangements? Does making money mean the same to women as it does to men? Are there male female relationships that are 100% non-romantic; purely business or social? Discover how the world REALLY works.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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? Whenever you hear concern about "The Children" know that you are being powerfully and emotionally manipulated for political purposes. More Jews had to leave Arab lands than Arabs had to leave Israel in 1948. Why are Arab refugees treated differently from all other refugees in the world? The fallacy of proportionality. Someone is beating up your wife and kid, careful now, make sure your response is proportional. Really? Where did this rubbish doctrine come from? Loving those you give to rather than those who give to you. Isn't compassion always a desirable characteristic?  Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Gibson's Braveheart? It explains one of the most important aspects of Chanuka. What were you doing between the ages of 13 and 23? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life?

Do you know the really unpopular message of Chanuka? That's right, it has something to do with burning oil. 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?

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. Are you thinking about making next year different from last year? Here is a very useful resource to look into:  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/chart-your-course-e-book-video-bundle/ Useful insights into clothing. Lessons for your life from McDonalds and General Motors.

Do you want a good life? Do you know what a good life means? What do you have to do in order to achieve a good life? How Germany defeated France in only six weeks in early 1940. Why Mercedes and BMW are more reliable cars than Peugot and Citroën. What this teaches us about making our lives good. Especially connection between money and marriage. What is purpose of physical intimacy: pleasure or procreation? Both? Why must the life-enhancing energy we call family derive from this elemental male female connection? His wife concealed her half million dollar trust fund from him. Can he trust her? Can she trust him? Should she? Read about The Holistic You, the ultimate guide to the Good Life: Click: https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/the-holistic-you-hardcover/    What happens to a marriage when one spouse wins the lottery?
