Rabbi Yaakov Fisch presents an enlightening podcast that uncovers positivity and light in the ordinary day. In fact, the recorded statement of God in the Torah is “Let There Be Light.” This means there was a lot of darkness on the first day of creation and there was a divine intervention necessary to uncover the light.

Please join me along my journey as I attempt to find the sparks of light in a world of darkness.
