3 weeks until Rosh Hashanah!
There are just 3 weeks until Rosh Hashanah (evening of Sunday, September 16 until sundown Tuesday, September 18). If you haven’t started planning, now it the time to do it!

52 week challange Week 1: Goals
If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every single time. I strongly believe in having written goals. I find that if I don’t, I let the madness of life take over and I run around putting out fires instead of being productive. I get sucked in to whatever is happening instead of creating the …

What is a Shalom Bayit Book? (SBB part 1: paper or electronic?)
In several places, I have mentioned my Shalom Bayit Book (or SBB). A Shalom Bayit Book (SBB) is my Jewish version of a household management notebook or control journal. Shalom means peace, and bayit is house, so this book is one major way I bring peace into my house. (See some of the pieces in …
