This year's program gives you a dozen practical,
transformative answers to the question that's on all of our minds:
What now?
the topic

What loving every Jew
really means

How to make our homes, our hearts, and our nation unbreakable

What you'll hear

Why is this the answer? Rav Brudny explains.
When someone's being difficult, how can I see their good?
I'm so busy. Can I change a relationship in just 5 minutes?
I went out on a limb to repair a relationship and they pushed me away. How can I still love them?
What if their simcha is something I desperately want? How can I be happy for them?
I want to stop being negative - but everywhere I look the bad jumps out at me.
How can I be there for others when I'm the one in need of support?
How do I become the type of person who puts people first — even when I don't feel it?
How do I become a people-liker, someone who's an ohev yisroel?
And more…
