Some mistake an act of willfulness for an act of will.

past & present
In goodwill gesture, Vatican allowing Jews to view priceless Maimonides manuscripts
By Lisa J. Huriash

There is no known recorded history showing exactly how or when the Vatican acquired the medieval writings.

Move seen as gesture to improve relations between Catholics and Jews

war on terror
Islamicists hate us for who
we are, not what we do

By Victor Davis Hanson

The United States has adopted a rational strategy against Islamic fascism: kill the terrorists, remove illegitimate regimes that aid the extremists, foster democracies in their places and alter American policy from tolerance of the corrupt status quo to calls for reform. Yet we cannot finish the Islamicists' war unless we understand why they started it.

reality check
When you wish upon a star ...

A simple summary of this column would not do it justice. There are too many points being made.

"Growing Each Day" by internationally renowned author and lecturer Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D. Improve your life based on biblical principles, NOT pop-psychology!
