You think you can bury a heavy secret under the "daily grain" of a busy life, but like a silver coin in a shaken bag, the past eventually rises to the top.

Whether you’re hiding a mistake or carrying a trauma you didn't cause, facing the truth is the first step toward God calling you back to wholeness.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: #thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

We often think success heals old wounds, but unhealed trauma can turn our present power into a weapon for revenge. This message explores how Joseph—despite his royal status—remained a prisoner to his past, proving that we often hurt others just to make them "understand" our pain. The truth is, you don’t need an apology to be whole; reconciliation requires two people, but healing only requires you and God.Watch this message on The Restoration App, Facebook, or YouTube or here: https://restoration.subspla.sh/4hhtzpj#thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle

Traditionally, we read the Book of Jonah on Yom Kippur because it forces us to face a hard question: do we want God’s mercy only for ourselves—or also for our enemies?Jonah wanted wrath for Nineveh. God wanted mercy. And if we’re honest, most of us live with the same tension: mercy for me, wrath for them.But here’s the truth: if God’s mercy isn’t wide enough for our enemies, it isn’t really mercy at all. Join us for Part 3 of The High Holidays & Jonah: Mercy & Wrath on Yom Kippur! Link: #thehappyrabbi #restorationseattle #JewishinSeattle #RoshHashana #YomKippur #Sukkot
