Mind-Altering Substances and Jewish Living $75.00
Many natural substances have psychoactive (mind-altering) properties that can significantly impact one’s mental state and affect one’s mood.
May an observant Jew avail himself of such stimulants? Is such recreation acceptable from a halachic standpoint, or does it contravene one’s Torah obligations? How would we judge actions taken while under the influence of drugs and alcohol?

Mind, Matter and G-d – Vision of Science from a Chabad Perspective $39.00
The human brain is capable of extraordinary feats. Our key to knowledge and our window to understanding, the intellect is universally recognized as the most exalted entity in existence. Yet both Torah and science recognize that the mind, and its capacity for understanding, is limited – a fact that the brain itself logically accepts. This paper demonstrates the limitations of the mind – and how human intelligence alone can never fully grasp the infinite.
Includes: What lessons did the Rebbe glean from Einstein’s theory of relativity, for dealing with apparent contradictions between Torah and Science? -

Jews have always cherished the land of Israel, and yearned to be buried there upon their passing. They also seek to have their grave marked honorably, so as to enable loved ones to visit and pray.

Why was he assigned this fate? Does this somehow reflect his life’s unparalleled accomplishments?
