Nina Amir's Thoughts on Spirituality, Judaism, Human Potential, Personal Growth, and Living Fully
After my last post which asked a litany of questions related to fulfilling your soul’s purpose, a friend sent me a note on Facebook (I actually wish people would leave comment here instead…hint, hint!), asking, “And how do you see a person ‘learning’ what their soul purpose is?”
Great question! Here’s the answer, which involves asking [...]
What will it take for you to fulfill your soul’s purpose? Does God’s hand have to come down and push you towards the work you are meant to do? Does God have to hit you over the head with an opportunity?
Does the One to whom you soul always is connected have to yell loudly enough [...]

The Torah portions we read the past two weeks, Vayigash (Genesis 44:18-47:27) and Vayechi (Genesis 47:28-50:26), offer us a chance to look at our own lives over the past year and to consider how past events during the last 12 months have gotten us to the place we now stand. It also helps us to look forward [...]
