An end to TOXIC shame | (Parshas Terumah)

What are the real causes of shame and self-consciousness and what can be done to overcome them? The answer lies in understanding the mysterious "tachash" animal (sometimes translated as a unicorn) whose colorful skins were used to decorate the sanctuary in the wilderness.

I thought I was awkward, but this guy beats me by a mile. I love it

[@SoulWords]

Glad I could help. ☺️

[@fernandorivera6117]

@@SoulWords You really did. It makes me feel a little less alone. Could I ask you some questions about Jewish philosophy?

[@SoulWords]

@@fernandorivera6117 that is what i am here for

[@fernandorivera6117]

@@SoulWords Cool. First of all, I'm not Jewish. I do believe in God, but I have a love-hate relationship with him, and I'm not always very respectful of him. But I'll avoid being disrespectful. Here's my question: Ultimately speaking, is God the only thing in existence? And if so, where does that leave us? Are we him in some sense?

[@Christi-TV]

We were created in the image and likeness of God, so yes you are His Essence in that sense. Light and Love ✌🏼🦋🕊🔥 Be Blessed and you Awaken

[@nomorecensoringme]

Your teachings are a bright spot in my day.

[@chayab961]

Love how you are so raw and brutally honest!

[@SoulWords]

I’m glad you appreciate it. The truth is that it’s not something I do on purpose. It’s just the way that I am. But it seems to resonate with certain people. So I’m glad that you found my classes.

[@chayab961]

Honestly your classes bring so much light and life to my life, so thank you very much. Besides, I use many of your classes to teach in my classes I give and always mention your name when I quote your classes plus give people your reference on KZbin, so thank you very much Rabbi Taub!

[@kristofvanhooymissen7785]

Thank you Rabbi, blessings by Kristo(f) Gabriel. Keep us informed with your wisdom. Very much appreciated. Love

[@joelthomasbennett]

B"H Thankyou Rabbi for this. I have aspergers and have not a very good self estimation. I always wondered was im always self conscious and skittish and people would describe me as shy, but im not shy i like people. This teaching has helped me to finally understand why im like this. I put into practice this teaching today at work and the conversation with people was real (i work front of house in cafe) and wasnt rehearsed lines like normal. Im usually making mistakes and dropping things and messing up orders and i tried my best to remember its Hashem thats making everything happen whether it seems easy or difficult and it was like dancing and singing all fay instead of like hard labour.

You don’t know how much your comment has moved me. Thank you so much. Btw have you seen my class on neurodiversity? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHvVpWuJi9SBn9U

תודה לרב על השיעור - תיבלת היטב הומור עם תבונה. אם הבנתי נכון, כדי להרחיק את הבושה ולהחליפה בגאווה בריאה ומתונה יש לדאוג לכך שהצגת הצבעים היפים ביותר של האישיות שלך היא למטרה אלוקית ולא אישית.

[@SoulWords]

נכון!

[@m.shlezinger4809]

Wow ! This is so on point.

[@david.guez13]

Amazing

[@SoulWords]

Thank you

[@hayaozar]

Thank you for the excellent lecture. I just honestly find sometimes hard to be motivated when I know my gifts aren't mine really, they are G.od's made. What is my own part in the process of actualizing my potential?

[@SoulWords]

It’s entirely your choice whether or not you actualize your G-d-given potentials.

[@yitzhaklider8819]

So many are suffering from low self confidence and shame bc of a perceived sense of doing something wrong from their life experiences where people have told them that theyre shameful and they suffer all their lives needlessly bc they second guess themselves constantly and others have no shame bc they believe that they're OK no matter what they do and they do succeed bc of the strength they have from their positive beliefs about themselves. How does that fit in with what your teaching?

[@SoulWords]

What you say is unfortunately very true. Many of us carry unnecessary shame that was imposed upon us and which we then internalized. For those of us dealing with that problem, hopefully this class can play a small part in then realizing that this kind of shame is unfounded. We do not need to conform to the expectations of others. At the same time, even if we learn to reject the false shame, it’s important to realize that there is a real shame that we feel when we are misaligned with our G-d-given purpose. Hopefully this class can also help with that. In other words, it reminds us to use our gifts to glorify Hashem so that we can feel healthy self-esteem.

How do you know that Gold is only supposed to be used in the temple? Is that fact or opinion?

[@SoulWords]

Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah 16:2) says, “The world was not worthy to have the use of gold, and it was created solely for the sake of the Holy Temple.”

[@AmatiinBC]

Ive read that word as narwal in an english translation. I wish i could remember which one. How they got narwals in the wilderness i dont know. 😂😂😂
