Yaakov Klein Brooklyn, New York 11219, USA Brooklyn, New York 11219, USALife can seem to be unfair at times, it seems everyone has everything going for them. They seem happy, successful, have friends, have no problem talking, and have good relationships. But, for you these things take great effort and is seems to be a big challenge. You feel locked in and painfully stuck looking out of your emotional prison cell for someone to take you out and give you some hope and show you a way out even when you doubt there is one.
Whether, feelings of anxiety, fear of doing things or being part of it, thoughts of will this work out, I am not sure I could, what would others think about me, am I worth anything, everyone is better then me, or whether it seems the people in your…

"He Ain't Heavy…"* – Parshat Balak
"He Ain't Heavy…He's my brother". These are famous lyrics from a 1969 song by The Hollies. The tale is told of a young Scottish girl carrying a young boy and obviously laboring under his weight. When a minister saw her along the way and asked her if it was too much for her to carry, she reportedly answered: "He ain't heavy, Mr. He's my brother." This beautiful song has been the anthem and the …
The question of why I don’t have a private practice feels ever present. I have answers…some good, some not as good. Truthfully, as my LIU students who have been subjected to my professional hashkafic mussar shmuezim can attest, I struggle with the larger picture, not only of mental health in the frum community, but the even larger picture of tzarus in the frum community.
It is self-evident that there is no shortage of pro …
It Really is Up to Us – Parshat Shelach
Having just returned from the 22nd World Congress on Logotherapy, I am excited about all that I learned, the people I met and the topics presented. The meeting of minds and challenging each other to achieve greater understanding, even when agreeing on the basic premise, was exciting.
It is no surprise, then, that it took almost no time to find an outstanding search for meaning in this week's pars …
I recently received a phone call from a friend. She began by saying “this is a nachas call.”
Since all of my children and grandchildren live in New York and my friend lives in Israel I was puzzled. How could she be calling me with a nachas call when she hasn’t seen any of my family in over a year?
She proceeded to explain the nachas. It was about me and my book.
My friend said she had given a copy of my book to …
Most parents are very careful when choosing a cheder, Yeshiva, Bais Yaakov, or Bais HaMedrash for their each of their children, al pi darcho. They want to see and experience the saviva, the atmosphere created in the classroom, the nature and personality of the Rebbe or Morah, and the overall hashkafa of the school. Ideally, they observe the instructor in action, how he or she presents material and their demeanor towards their students …
Meaninglessness as a Curse – Parshat Bechukotai
I've been writing this blog for almost 5 years. I am not surprised that I have been able to successfully find* meaning hints in every parsha a few times over.1 What is surprising is that it is sometimes so blatant that it cannot be ignored. The Torah values meaning in life. It exhorts you to find meaning and live by it2 and it does not tolerate when you deter others from their meaning.3
Howeve …
