OPINION & COMMENT

SLearning to Give In: A Lecture in Chinuch - Part I
by M. Meir

The Gaon, HaRav Chizkiyohu Medini, author of Sdeh Chemed, used to say that he wasn't particularly talented as a child. When he married, he studied in a beis medrash which was supported by a very wealthy gvir. He did not display unique abilities, but he was very diligent. One day, something happened that changed his life.

Yemei Horachamim VehaSelichos: Selections on Prayer
by HaRav Dovid Halevi Bamberger

Manchester, England

I have heard the following explanation from HaRav Sholom Schwadron, zt"l (from his Rebbe HaRav Elya Lopian, zt"l): There are people who come to pray with their neshomos, and there are people that come to pray with their nefoshos. There are people who come to pray with their ruchos, and Hashem hears their outcries, and then, there are the simple folk, estranged from Hashem and His mitzvos, who pray as if with bodies devoid of neshomos.
