In our last few articles, we spoke about the empowering nature of challenges, discussing how the purpose of a challenge, as the Ramban explains, is to push us to actualize our latent potential, to transform our koach (potential) into po’al (actual). However, there is one last level of nisayon that requires clarification. To address it, we must ask an important question:

We have previously discussed how the purpose of a challenge is to push us to actualize our latent potential.

Sid Rosenberg, a prominent WABC radio host known for his forthright opinions and unfiltered commentary, has never been one to shy away from controversy.

Recently, Rosenberg has become an outspoken supporter of the State of Israel, a stance that has garnered both admiration and criticism. In a candid interview, Rosenberg shared his experiences, beliefs, and predictions on various topics, revealing the complexities and motivations behind his public persona.

We have reached a level of insanity that is beyond explicable. People’s views are illogical and distorted. Once, I believe, most people were somewhat normal, healthy-thinking people who recognized and agreed on what is good and what is evil, what is truth and what is a lie.

I’d like to share with you an amazing story that just happened. Fresh off the press! It’s an incredible miracle, highlighting the power of t’filah! Actually, it’s focusing on a specific aspect of kavanah – intention and focus in one’s prayers.
