Should we pray for things that are within our control or that we can accomplish ourselves (e.g. working harder, being more patient, or being more disciplined)? Thank you. Justin A. Dear Justin, Many years ago, a South African immigrant to America (Rabbi Daniel Lapin’s mother, to be specific) asked a friend to pick up some...
Can you tell me more about how during the 400 year captivity the Hebrew wives didn’t let their husbands give up on God’s promises? (I’ve heard) something about the husbands wanted to stop producing children and refused to lay with their wives but the women found a way. Thanks, ∼ Marjorie C. Dear Marjorie, We...
Dear Rabbi and Susan, Like so many others these days, I have a job that I can do mostly from home – I’m a software engineer. It’s great for my family. I can take the kids to school in the morning and on many days my wife and I even get to have breakfast or...
Dear Rabbi Daniel and Susan Lapin, My husband and I want to pick your brain regarding tithing. In 2020, we started our own trucking company and have been doing very well for ourselves. We began tithing in 2022 always giving the first 10% to the Lord. We have a lot of fun giving and often...

I have been listening to your podcasts for roughly about two years now and find them very insightful on God’s word and relevant to the times and seasons, thank you for being a blessing. I come from an African household where my father was the main provider as he had a very stable and well-paid...
My husband had the distinguished privilege of meeting you at Chris LoCurto’s Next Level Leadership Event. While he was there he asked you a question on my behalf and I would like to expand on my question. Is beauty Physical or Spiritual? I ask because there are many times we see people and think they...
Hello, Rabbi Daniel and Susan: After watching your show for a few years with my husband, I finally decided to email you. I have encountered a situation at work and would like your input on this. I am a Nurse Practitioner and want to transition to a specialty. There may be an opportunity coming up...
