From the George Washington Bridge to the museums of Europe…
From the ballpark to the ski slopes to the lemonade stand…
Driving car pool, buying pet food, or sending flowers…
These
are only some of the unexpected places where you can find Hashem and
infuse the humdrum of everyday life with depth and meaningfulness.
Rabbi Yered Michoel Viders
invites readers of all ages and backgrounds to uncork powerful and
practical lessons from a broad array of unlikely sources - from Torah
luminaries to, l'havdil, Shakespearean playwrights and The Little Engine That Could; from
the Revolutionary War to World War II and the aftermath of September
11. These vignettes and insights offer a refreshing, amusing, and
profound approach to simchah, emunah, bitachon, sensitivity to others, and, ultimately, the drive to achieve one's innate capacity for greatness.
Seize the Moment provides
a keen, penetrating glimpse into the lives that so many of us lead. It
sheds light on how to find Hashem day in and day out and, often, where
you might least expect to find Him. This book will assist readers in
their personal quest to discover meaning and happiness in virtually
every moment of life.
