In my role as a rabbi, I often speak to people about realizing and revealing their potential and partnering with Hashem to make this world a more beautiful place. Last week, a friend with whom I was having this discussion, challenged me to practice what I preach and
At NLE Resources, we are always on the look out for great resources, tips, programming ideas --- and even videos -- that can be of service to rabbis and educators.
