The Real Meaning Behind, Mirror Mirror On The Wall
The Mirror Effect
When you hear about mirrors, love of self, and loving others what comes to mind? Do your mirrors reflect vanity, or opportunities? When you think of loving yourself do you get nervous, or excited?
Yosef Yitzack Rieber, known to his friends as Yosse, will share his warmth and compassion about the power of positive thinking and why V’ahavta L’ercha Camocha – Love your fellow man as you love yourself is a foundation of Torah.
Yosse is an 8th generation Israeli born in Bnei Braq to a Lubavitch family. He grew up living between the Vishnitzer Rebbe (Chassidish) and the Stipler Gaon (Litvish). This eclectic background laid his foundation of ahavas yisroel, compassion, and respect for all branches of Judaism. He came to the U.S. at the age of 15 ½. While living at the Chabad House in Westwood CA, his life was saved when he jumped from the 2nd floor of the burning building. Yosse has been married for 30 years, has four children and 6 grandchildren to date.
There have been many milestones throughout his life, many that just passed by, many that he stopped and was mindful and grateful for. All his life he lived with positive statements such as troch gut v’ zyin gut think good and it will be good, and love your fellow man as you love yourself. Most of his life these were beautiful statements, but he didn’t recognize their ability to have a profound impact on his day to day actions. Approximately four years ago he began to understand the power of his thoughts and actions. He now chooses to chase life, as opposed to having life chase him.
