Greetings, happy warriors, and thank you for being part of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show,

0:05.6

where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works, that's right. And one of the ways that

0:14.7

the world really works is that you have to know that you can control your feelings. You have to know that your moods and your

0:26.9

feelings are very much within your power to control, particularly if you are male. It is true that for women,
