LOVE Thomas Manton: It is love that doth open our mouths, that we may praise God with joyful lips. The proper intent of mercies is to draw us to God. When the heart is full of a sense of the goodness of the Lord, the tongue cannot hold its peace. Self love may lead us … [Read More...] Psalm 116:1-19

When we observe someone else doing something, our neurons fire a sequence in our brain that is the exact sequence used when we then do the very same action ourselves. In seeing it, our brain experiences it, and then we do it ourselves. We are constantly mirroring what … [Read More…] The Rabbi
