Therapy According to G-d - A Rabbi and a Psychologist Discuss Life by Rabbi Mordechai Wecker - 2019

The Torah is "the Blueprint for the Universe" It is the "owner's manual" to life Our mission is to learn G-d's Torah and strive to be closer to Him

Still, the Torah is even more than that It is G-d making Himself known to the world It has been our lifeblood for over three thousand years It's what sustains us, keeps us alive, and gives us our sense of purpose in the world It is eternal

It is also high drama It is the story of relationships, conflict, and (sometimes) resolution The Torah shares its stories to help us understand who we are and where we come from - and how we must live and grow and evolve, constantly improving ourselves, refining our character traits, and developing healthier and better relationships

Thousands of years ago and today, people have dealt with difficult issues such as anxiety, loneliness, depression, anger issues, family conflict and substance abuse In this book, we attempt to show how eternal Torah principles can be incorporated into our daily lives - and how we can find healing and connection
