Basic principles.

[] Talking with God in one's mother tongue. [As we see King David was doing. We also see the Rambam mention that this was the actual way people prayed before the prayers became solidified and set.
[] No Lashon Hara [speaking bad]. That is no talking bad about other unless you fulfill the seven conditions  the Chafetz Chaim brings for saying lashon hara for sins between man and his fellow man. For sin between man and God these seven conditions do not exist but there are a few other conditions as the Chafetz Chaim goes into in chapter 4.
[] Truth. Speak the truth at all cost.
[] Try review the Oral and Written Law. That is every day one full chapter of the Old Testament at the dinner table with the whole family. That is to get through the entire Tenach from cover to cover.
Also the Two Talmuds. [With the all the basic commentaries if possible].
[] Same with Physics and Math [as Maimonides (the Rambam) mentions in Mishne Torah and also the Guide.].= to get through the basic subjects. I know of no particular text, but at least to get through the basic subjects.
[]The way to do this learning is to say the words and to go on. That is called "Girsa".
[] learning survival skills.
[] If in Israel, it is important to serve in the IDF and otherwise support the peace of the state. [There were plenty of Jews that tried to stop the second return to Israel n the days of Ezra and Nechemia and their names are recorded for a in the book of Nechemia for their eternal shame. Thus the religious world that today also tries to undermine the State of Israel will also been remembered as cursed for all future generations.


I  got to thinking about this after breaking my foot and leg in three places. I was not able to walk for two months so I had lots of time to think about teshuva (repentance). That is I hope to not let this crisis go to waste but rather to strive to understand in what ways do I need to improve myself.
