Choose What You Make


Life lays out the same materials for everyone, and it’s up to us if we want to make misery or a pizza with a touch of surprise.

Don’t try to fix people; try to love them. Love will do the fixing.

When Fair Doesn’t Feel Fair – Emuna Has the Final Say

BS'D

“Fairness is not a feeling. It’s a Divine truth only Hashem fully understands.”

We often interpret life through the lens of fairness. “This isn’t fair,” we say, when our heart aches or things don’t go as planned. But what is fairness? It’s a moving target, shaped by our moods, our memories, and our personal expectations. That’s why emuna becomes our anchor — the truth that doesn’t shift, bend, or get broken by pain.

Rav Dessler ztk’l teaches that the soul carries Hashem’s signature: Emet — absolute truth. That truth isn't determined by what we see, but by what Hashem knows. Even when life appears unjust, Hashem’s chesed and exactness are orchestrating every detail with eternal wisdom.
