A Higher Purpose

A higher purpose sets your priorities for how you choose to act in the world daily. For example, a higher purpose may simply be “I will be compassionate.” It doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.

So... why not choose compassion?  It's a powerful attribute

Stanford Medicine’s new study reveals why mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause myocarditis—mostly in young men under 30 (1 in 16,000 after second dose). The trigger? An immune overdrive: macrophages release CXCL10, T cells fire IFN-gamma, inflaming heart cells and leaking troponin. Using patient blood, human cell cultures, and mouse models, researchers mapped this two-step storm.

The breakthrough: blocking these signals slashed damage. Even better, genistein—a soybean compound with mild estrogen-like, anti-inflammatory effects—curbed most harm in tests. Published December 10, 2025, in Science Translational Medicine, the work celebrates vaccines’ potential life-saving impact: “Without them, far more would have died,” says lead Joseph Wu, MD, PhD. According to Wu, this isn’t a warning—it’s a roadmap to safer, smarter immunity.

Look Up! Geminid Meteors Reach Peak Season ☄️

As Earth plows through the dusty trail of extinct comet 3200 Phaethon each December, the sky ignites with one of the year’s most reliable celestial fireworks: the Geminid Meteor Shower, peaking December 13th and 14th with up to 120 multicolored meteors per hour under dark skies. Unlike most showers born from icy comets, the Geminids spring from a rocky “asteroid” that behaves like a comet, hurling bright, slow-moving fireballs that often glow yellow, green, or red. Radiating from the constellation Gemini near the bright stars Castor and Pollux, this celestial spectacle rewards patient observers bundled against the cold, offering a dazzling reminder that even dead worlds can paint the night with fleeting beauty.

Where in the world will you be viewing the Geminid meteors from? Share your location below. 👇🏼

How To Deal With Difficult People

Be Curious, Not Furious

Skillfully engaging in the practice “be curious, not furious” means to feel and act with a sense of greater safety instead of scanning for threats. It means to feel more satisfied instead of focusing on what is lacking or needed.

The Law of Emptiness

Every single thing is empty, including myself. Everything is part of this emptiness; everything is subject to the law of emptiness. Everything is changing and manifesting, including myself, so we are inherently living while letting go.

It’s okay if you’re not okay. You are not weak for feeling lost or tired – you’re human. What matters is that even when you fall apart, there’s something deep inside telling you to try again tomorrow. That’s real strength.

Not all progress is visible, and not all growth is loud. Sometimes the most profound transformation happens in the quietest moments, when you're simply holding on, breathing through, and choosing to hope one more time.

But know this: your resilience is being noticed, and your patience will be rewarded. What feels invisible now is quietly preparing tomorrow’s breakthroughs. Keep going, even when the road feels endless; because every small act of holding on is carrying you closer to the place where everything begins to make sense.

Inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Efrem Goldberg

“And you shall leave a space between each herd” (Genesis 32:17)
“A distance within sight, so as to satisfy the eye of that wicked man” (Rashi).

A person’s eyes serve as the messengers of the mind. Their role is to determine whether, upon seeing something, one connects it immediately to higher understanding—recognizing what Hashem wants from him—and thus lives with the awareness expressed by Yaakov Avinu: “I have everything.”

Such a person lives fully within his own reality, recognizing that whatever happens around him is part of his personal story. He does not fix his eyes on what others have - what kind of family, how much money, or how much someone else is serving Hashem. He looks only at himself, his situation, and understands that his task in this misleading world is uniquely his own.

Esav’s eye is the exact opposite. Even when he has abundant silver and gold, he is never satisfied. Yaakov tried to appease him regarding the blessings by sending a generous gift, and therefore he instructed the messengers to keep visual distance between each herd so Esav would see an abundance and perhaps be calmed.

When they finally met, Esav said, “I have plenty,” expressing pride and self-importance. Everything Esav seeks is simply more - more satisfaction, more indulgence, more fulfillment of desires. His gaze is always hungry.

Our task is to confront the Esav within ourselves and fight him with everything we have. “Yaakov was an ish tam - a wholesome man.” Through simple sincerity—taking Rebbe Nachman’s practical advice of hitbodedut, joy, dancing, prayer, and the straightforward practices he taught—we can overcome that inner Esav and become included in the wholesome path of Yaakov.

May Hashem help us in all we do.
