I just saw Niagara Falls for the first time! I felt like remaining there for hours absorbing the overwhelming might of the sight.

More feelings you need to learn to control. Fortunately in this show I make accessible ancient Jewish wisdom’s timeless and true technique for controlling feelings rather than having them control us.
