Social media has a lot of problems. We all know that. It can distract us, fill our minds with noise, and pull us away from deeper goals.

But I’ve been thinking about something else lately. At its best, social media can be gilui haneshama. The revelation of the soul.

Sometimes an idea of Torah or a moment of clarity passes through the mind and heart and you just want to capture it. Not to perform for people, but almost like speaking to Hashem and saying: look at this thought you placed in my heart.

If other people connect to it, that’s a bracha. But the deeper beauty is that a moment of the soul was revealed and shared.

My heart is filled with gratitude right now.

For the holy heroes serving in Tzahal, in the IDF, in the American army, and for their families who carry the weight of that service with them. Their courage and devotion protect lives and stand up for what is good in this world.

In Judaism there is a concept called mesirat nefesh, the giving of the soul. When a person devotes themselves completely to what matters most, they touch the highest place of the neshama, a place beyond ego and beyond the self.

So many people are living with that spirit right now.

For the rest of us, our task is to serve with our own mesirat nefesh. To live our purpose with devotion, to pray, to support, and to strengthen the good in the world.

Hashem oz le’amo yiten.

Hashem should give His people strength.

Hashem yevarech et amo bashalom.

May Hashem bless His people with peace.

Praying for shalom for Israel, for America, for the people of Iran, and for the entire world.

Jewish life is on fire, and I want to share a bit of that positivity.

This is a very difficult time to be Jewish. In Israel and in the diaspora there is fear, tension, and real danger. Nothing I say here minimizes that. I see it as a rabbi and in my work as a therapist supporting people in the Jewish community. Every attack, every threat, every moment of fear is real and painful.

But there is another truth at the same time.

For generations we have often lost the propaganda war. We try to respond, we try to explain, but so much of that is beyond our control. Yet while that battle rages, Jewish life itself is thriving. Tel Aviv is alive with simchat chayim. The Land of Israel is flourishing in ways our ancestors could only dream of. Chabad centers across the world are bursting with Ahavat Yisrael, welcoming every Jew with love.

Our hopes go even deeper than this. A world where Beit Tefillah yikareh lechol ha’amim, where all humanity gathers in Yerushalayim to serve Hashem together. Until that day, we keep fighting antisemitism, we keep supporting our people, and we keep standing strong.

But we should also recognize the moment we are living in. Jewish life is burning with an aish tamid, an eternal flame, inside every one of us.

Thank Hashem for that fire. And may we soon see days of peace for Am Yisrael and for the entire world.
