| Introduction to Prophecy |
# JO 056 A |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| What is a Navi, and what process was necessary to qualify as one? Joshua followed Moshe - the greatest prophet that ever lived. How was his leadership proof that with intense work on the self, one can reach far beyond original expectations? |

| The Role of a Leader |
# JO 056 B |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Each leader is tailor made to fit the generation he must shepherd. While that may indeed be true, imagine Joshua's feelings of incompetence as he contemplated filling the shoes of his master, Moshe. Hashem's promise to Joshua helped give him the confidence to lead and succeed as he stepped forward to take the Jewish nation into Israel. |

| Freeing Ourselves of Negative Influences |
# JO 056 C |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Rachav is a complex figure in our history. A prostitute for decades, she still managed to nurture her relationship to spirituality and G-dliness despite her actions. What helped her finally make the move to shift her outer actions to match her deeply spiritual inner world? |

| The Power of Torah |
# JO 056 D |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Success in Eretz Yisrael depends on one major factor - how well we keep the Torah. That idea was shown by the miraculous crossing of the Jordan river, which split in face of the Aron. How do we relate to the Torah now? Mrs. Juravel details the need for distance within our relationship to these holy words, and how that humility keeps us close, but adds the necessary respect. |

| Joshua: Being Open to Miracles |
# JO 056 E |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Why was it so necessary to create a monument in order to remember the miracle of the splitting of the Jordan river? Wouldn't that be a natural story we'd pass on to our children? Mrs. Juravel discusses remembering the truth and lesson of a miracle as opposed to the superficial symbol of the supernatural event, and encourages us to focus on the many miracles in our lives. |

| Joshua: Going Beyond Nature |
# JO 056 F |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| One of the first things the Jews did as a nation coming into Israel was circumcise themselves. Their willingness to do the exact opposite of what is expected of those getting ready for major warfare showed their extreme faith in Hashem, and the ability to move beyond the realm of nature. |

| Joshua: Overcoming Fear |
# JO 056 K |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Fear creeps its way into the fabric of our beings from the time we're very young, and then usually pops up during difficult times. Mrs. Juravel explains when Yehoshua's army had already been defeated and driven back once, how the psychological struggle that ensued of possibly losing a second time was much greater. Gain a new perception of where our fears stem from, and how to understand them better. |

| Chana and the Power of Prayer - Part One |
# JO 058 A |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Chana suffered the excruciating pain of barrenness for almost 20 years, as her husband shouldered the burden of praying for them to have children. But once he finally accepted that she would never bear children, Chana herself was compelled to pray with a fervor that few in history have ever achieved. Hear how this brave woman became a great woman by invoking her tremendous spiritual understanding to convince God to grant her a child. |

| David Hamelech: Our Actualizing Force |
# JO 079 A |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| In order to understand Tehillim, we need to delve into the personality behind the Psalms. David struggled with an extremely difficult life, making Herculean efforts to connect to G-d despite all that was drawing him away. He became living proof that there is no experience in human existence that can't be used to relate to Hashem, linking heaven and earth in a way that no one succeeded in doing before him. |

| Journey Through Tehillim: The Truly Happy Man - Perek 1 |
# JO 079 B |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Tehillim is known as a book full of praises of G-d. Why then does it start off praising man? The powerful answer - man's existence, when done well, can be the greatest praise of G-d ever. How can we hold on to the keys of happiness and goodness that were given to us from the moment we were born, and shield them from the negativity that is intent on destroying them? |

| Journey Through Tehillim: The End Goal - Perek 2 |
# JO 079 D |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| Why is the world so full of hatred and plotting to bring each other - and especially the Jewish nation - down? Shouldn't G-d step in and stop them before they are able to actualize their evil plans? David explores the convoluted paths the world takes to get to the end goal G-d has in store. |

| Journey Through Tehillim: Always Reason to Sing - Perek 2-3 |
# JO 079 E |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| David was in tremendous pain, and he wasn't foolishly in denial and singing a merry tune. Indeed, he cried out to Hashem about the overwhelming suffering that befell him. But within the pain, he found a song that expressed all that he was going through, proving that no matter how bad things get, there's always reason to sing.

| Journey Through Tehillim: Trust - How and to Whom? Perek 51 & 4 |
# JO 079 H |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| David's reaction to having been found wanting in the spiritual realm caused him to try his utmost to rectify the blemish he created. He showed us that the only way to do so is by turning to G-d with a broken heart. Later on, when men he respected and loved turned against him to follow his son Avshalom's rebellion, he urges them to contemplate their actions and return, sharing his love and lessons with them.

| Journey Through Tehillim: Playing Our Song - Perek 5 |

| by

|
| David composed this psalm to be sung in the Beis Hamikdash - on an instrument that can be understood on a variety of levels. Each of us have our own unique abilities and individuality, and we must find the way to appreciate and play our own song among all of the music of creation.

| Journey Through Tehillim: What Things Are, What They Seem - Perek 5-6 |
# JO 079 K |
| by
Juravel, Mrs. Chana |
|
| People are complex. Despite our desire to think people love us and are out for our benefit, we must shed our naiveté and come to terms with the fact that they may have a hidden agenda underneath their smiling faces. How did David deal with those who presented themselves as his friends, and worked to destroy him? And how can we learn the lesson of respecting people but being aware at the same time?

# JO 079 L |
| by

|
| Life is often equated with productivity. But those who are ill and unable to do much are still achieving. Often sick people don't feel like a viable part of the team of the nation of Israel. When we ask for healing, what do we truly desire? And what happens when we grow comfortable in our role of invalid? An in-depth look at illness and health. |

| Journey Through Tehillim: Esther - A New Day - Perek 22 |
# JO 079 M |
| by

|
| Esther is easily on of the most tragic figures in our history, an intensely spiritual woman who was orphaned in infanthood and robbed of a beautiful marriage and potential children. How did she overcome the despair that threatened to overwhelm her and reach beyond the tragic incidents that were occurring on an individual and national level to reach the dawn that lay just beyond the night? |

| King Saul was actually on a higher spiritual level than David, but David had a quality that Saul lacked - the ability to be what a king needed to be. Mrs. Juravel defines which attributes a king must have beyond wearing a gold crown and sitting on a throne. See how David the man was able to allow God to shine through him - no matter what trials or tribulations were placed before him. |

|
| G-d is so infinitely great, and so powerful, He can seem terribly far away. This psalm holds within it all of the tools needed to reach out and connect to Him, as well as empowering us by paradoxically focusing on our seeming insignificance in the vastness of the universe. |

| David had many enemies, and unabashedly asked G-d to punish them for all they did. Yet this seemingly human need for revenge is far from what it seems. David considered his enemies based on G-d's desires, not his own. How does that alter our perception of self that is so a part of us, we take it for granted? |

| Journey Through Tehillim: Pride vs. Humility - Perek 10 |
# JO 079 U |
| by

|
| There are some unsavory characters in the world that terrify others with their disregard for human life and morals, and are so full of ego, they think they'll never be taken down. Mrs. Juravel looks at G-d's contempt for pride, and His love for those who humble themselves, and shows how that plays out in the end, even when the bad guys seem to be on top. |

David discovered the gift inherent in all challenges in life, and shared his knowledge of the greatness and actualized potential that is the ultimate goal at the end of the rocky road. |

| The Pursuit of Happiness - Perek 97 |

| The future state of the world and the happiness that marks the time of Moshiach is for the most part shrouded in vague references. The ultimate joy this Perek describes is a window for understanding this trait, and how it will simultaneously cut down the haughty while building up leaders possessing true humility.

How did this courageous woman hold onto her convictions, and from which particular merit did she earn the privilege of bringing kingship to the nation she joined?
