            <description><![CDATA[<p>Loving yourself will help you change the way you see the world and at the same time change the way we judge others. We need to empathize with your fellow man. Judging people, shows, that there is something inside of you that you lack or that you have inside from the person you are judging. That is why it bothers us.  To heal this discomfort is to say, Hashem, I do not like what I feel about the person I am judging , help me see what I need to change inside of my way I am looking.</p>

            <title><![CDATA[Behind the Scenes of Reality]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>We have lived life where we tend to have an opinion about someone, or we critize other people.  We tend to blame people about our situations that come up as an event that brings us to a negative emotion because of them.  There we have to ask what emotion did I feel when I had that negative emotion from this person?  We will discover that the person that made you feel hurt or made you feel a bad feeling , is only a messenger that is talking to you about what is really is going inside of us; and it is Hashem that is helping us see what we need to heal inside.  It helps us see behind the scenes of reality that, all things that happen to us and are uncomfortable have a learning path, that Hashem wants us to accept the pain and ask for a healing. To take away the bad feeling and to help us cleanse us, so we can see the bright light to continue seeing a light, that has been in our mind and not in our soul. We are working with Hashem at all times.</p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>The Torah does not ask us to escape life—it asks us to choose it. In this opening episode, we reflect on how faith becomes a lived practice through daily decisions. Drawing from Jewish wisdom while speaking to the shared human search for meaning, we explore how real change begins within.</p>
