Great lecture Dear Rabbi Kaplan, this was a very good explanation. I was wishing for something like this. I have been studying and trying to learn. I very rarely get a chance to go to services, due to where I live and have no vehicle. Thanks to you and ALL of Chabad! For the great teachings that all of you provide. Reply

Waking Up Right, Part 1 Dear Rabbi Kaplan, this is a beautiful teaching in how to honor our G-d. I just wanted to ask you: Many times I wake up in the middle of the night, or 2, 3, in the morning. I usually pray. But I never bathed at those hours. Wash my hand I do, but no bathing. Now I feel guilty. What should one do, not pray or take a shower, and then pray at such hours? Or just wash hands, mouth, and finally face? It is so wonderful to see and hear that my people honor G-d, blessed be He, with so much love, and respect for our King. Thanks to all of you I am learning to better serve my King. Reply
