Today's show features the music of Chilik Frank, the Chassidic world's leading clarinetist. Rabbi Lazer talks about the connection between loving parents and loving Hashem, as trhe Gemara tells us that 3 are partners in bringing a person down to this world – the mother, the father, and Hashem. In the second half of the program, Rabbi Lazer addresses some sticky contemporary problems such as the relationship between Baalei Teshuva and secular parents. The program also discusses whether one has an obligation according to Torah to honor inlaws.

Multi-talented author, speaker, composer and spiritual guide, Rabbi Lazer Brody came to Israel from the USA in 1970 after graduating from the University of Maryland’s College of Agriculture. A decorated veteran of an elite IDF Special Forces Unit, he left his mountaintop farm in Samaria in 1982 and began intensive Torah studies that led to his rabbinical ordination in 1992. Rabbi Brody pens the award-winning Lazer Beams weblog http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/ , is the English-language editor of Breslev Israel web magazine http://breslev.co.il/ , and the author of numerous books in Hebrew and English including the highly-acclaimed 'The Trail to Tranquility'. His translation of 'The Garden of Emuna', written by his rabbi and spiritual guide Rav Shalom Arush shlit’a, has become an international best seller. In addition, Rabbi Brody’s original Calming Waters album is an exquisite collection of his soul-healing flute melodies. He hosts the Lazer Beams podcast every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Israel time on Israel National Radio.
