Mia Sherwood Landau Quick Facts
If I had been hired by a magazine as an investigative reporter 'way back in the 1970s, I would have spent a lifetime collecting data and getting paid for my adventures. But, instead, I am doing my own writing now and sharing what I've learned on my websites and in my blogs.

The Deep Meaning Of Passover For Us All
For many years I thought that Passover was primarily the recollection of historical events. I thought it was the time of year that Jews (and others) show respect for the miraculous freedom that God granted a people enslaved for hundreds of years in Egypt. But the more I study, the more I understand that Passover, or Pesach, which is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word, is much more than a holiday to honor history. It is, in fact, an annual window of opportunity for me to recognize and celebrate my own personal freedom from spiritual oppression.

What Is It About Religion That People Don’t Like?
There is a noticeable trend in hard-copy books and articles published online that would make our grandparents turn over in their graves. I say that because the word “religion,” which was sacred to previous generations, has acquired a patina of resentment in the last few generations. I don’t know exactly how that came about, but let’s look at a couple possibilities here.

What Religion Means To Me
Maybe I am unique, but religion means the same thing as spirituality to me. I see a lot of teachers and students separating those two subjects these days, and it seems very curious to me.

Let’s Talk About Monotheism
Wikipedia defines monotheism as “… the belief in the existence of one and only one god.” Apparently the word God is not capitalized the way most of us would normally type it because of the fact that there are many gods in other religions and we don’t normally capitalize the word when we refer to other gods. I am speaking as a monotheist myself. I am speaking as a Jew.

Increasing My Lifespan On The Sabbath Day
I hadn’t really thought much about how time spent “out of the loop” of regular activities such as work and personal obligations could actually increase my lifespan, but I started thinking about it today. When I read a recent interview with Dr. Be ie Siegel, author of “A Book Of Miracles” and more than a dozen other titles, it pushed my thinking a little further on this subject. Let me share his words so you can see what you think:

Why I Love The Light Of Chanukah
Chanukah is not a subject found in Torah, the first five books of the Bible, or any other place in the Bible. The holiday of Chanukah memorializes a military victory of a small band of rebels against a large army of Seleucids, based in Syria, who were part of the Greek empire. And they also fought against the Jewish hellenizers, those Jews who wanted to forsake their religion and adopt Greek ways because Greek philosophy and science were very attractive to them.
