Thanks for the amazing insights and the "good word." How often is the anxiety evaporated when laughter, sekel (common sense), and chokmah (intelligence) come to take its place!

I enjoyed your premise Finding Peace in an Anxious World. So when does the book come out? Realistically, I don't anticipate I will be able to come to Atlantic City anytime soon. Even returning to New York City (Brooklyn) where I grew up seems an insurmountable challenge (at least at this time). Alas, I am guity of the greatest sin! Wasting my life away (despite that I put on Tefillin -- perhaps to honor the Rebbe). Alas, my local chabbad rabbi doesn't get it. Despite that I attend almost every other shabbos, he fails to lift me up and out of my viper pit -- the food is excellent though hence I keep coming back. But it would be nice if he got it! Number one thing I pray for, especially over Succoth past, parnosa - livelihood. If not now, when?

Thank you so much for this timeless Torah perspective on a very modern condition. You've provided some wonderful tools to tackling an often debilitating condition like anxiety from a spiritual angle. I've been searching for such powerful and yet simple answers for years and to know they have been right in the Torah all along, well that just figures!

| The murky world of addictive narcotics can be dangerous. Yet some spiritualists maintain that it is necessary for the release of one’s inner soul and spirit, and it is the only way to experience a transcendental sense of spiritual consciousness. Is that true? Or do drugs simply play with our imagination, inducing nothing but hallucination and a patently false sense of spirituality?
