A Little Bit of Light With Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein: Recent Episodes
JewishPodcasts.org
“If a little bit of light pushes away a lot of darkness, how much more so a lot of light“
- The Lubavitcher Rebbe
I am hoping that my personal experience will help and inspire others to embrace life’s experiences with hope and faith.
To get stronger and to be empowered to use our life’s experiences to bring more light into the world, that will undoubtedly push away the darkness.
