Dr. Bernie Siegal is the author of the book, “Buddy’s Candle”. My great grandfather heard the rabbi say, “I wish I were God.” “Do you want to be God so you can change the bad into the good?” “No, I wouldn’t change anything.

The mystery of understanding seeks to engage us in a journey of living an examined life. A journey of seeking personal enlightenment.
