Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Chovas Ha'talmidim

Description

Since one thought flows into another, the only way to control our machshavos (thoughts) is to make guidelines for ourself. A hachana (preparation) for a mitzvah changes the whole nature of the mitzvah. The only way to drive away darkness is with light – we must replace a positive daydream with positive Torah. Similarly, if we are worried about what our children are looking at on the Internet, we can't just cut the wire –we must replace it with something positive.
