Meet “Reconciliation”
When I started on this journey, I thought I understood reconciliation. Now, I realize I knew basically nothing. I was right about this one part: Forgiveness is different from reconciliation; it is the next level. And you and I thought forgiveness is hard, well, meet reconciliation. Last year our first issue was on the theme […]
Soursop—the Cancer-Fighting Super Fruit
I have to admit that when I heard the word “soursop” several months ago, I had no idea what it was. It wasn’t until I heard another of its common names, “graviola,” that I realized I was indeed familiar with this funny-sounding plant. For years I have seen this dark-green, prickly fruit in the supermarket; […]
Colorectal Cancer: Prevention Is OPTIMUM
Each year many of us go to the doctor for a yearly physical examination. Depending on the physician’s protocol and the age of the patient, the examination can take up to two hours or no more than thirty minutes to complete.

Why We Need Reconciliation
Reconciliation—to be reconciled, to a person, a group, even a family. We often think in terms of forgiveness; however, forgiveness and reconciliation too often do not go together in our lives. HaShem (G-d) offers both forgiveness and reconciliation. He calls upon us to “forgive those who trespass (or sin) against us.” So what is reconciliation? […]
Why Reconcile When Revenge Is Easier and Sweeter?
Unbroken is the brutal yet tender life-changing story of Lou Zamperini. As the credits rolled at the end of the movie, the still and stunned silence was broken by claps of tribute and respect. The applause was not for the acting or the story; it was for the man and his transformational choices. A man is […]
Is There Hope for Our Marriage?
It happens to every marriage. Sometimes it’s dramatic and heartbreaking, like an infidelity or gambling away the family savings. Sometimes it’s a fight over the in-laws’ visit, or money for a vacation, or the best way to put the baby to sleep at night. Every couple faces it: offenses. Words are said, actions are taken, […]
