[@figarogibson]

Easy question: Have you watched the Frasier reboot on Paramount+ ??

[@AaronMiller-rh7rj]

A couple of episodes. Does it get any better?

[@AOE2_Private_Lounge]

@@AaronMiller-rh7rj Yes, definitely

[@frieder8676]

Shalom Dr. Abramson. Thank you for your good work. Why do you have the number 175 on your jacket? All the very best.

[@edwardmoczydlowski3666]

Are the ancient Norse like Odin and Thor have Greek Jewish ancestry?

[@Riviera1777]

No

[@pheebsbee1280]

I missed the live chat 😢

[@HenryAbramsonPhD]

Don't worry--this was fun, I think we'll do it again!

[@AJAJade]

Awesome I hope so! I missed it too

Greetings, Dr. Abramson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You seem like a kind and humble person. Both Jesus and John the Baptist are referred to as ‘rabbi’ in the Gospels but it is not the most common title used.

Jesus; mellifluous maggid martyr mantled man in messianic mind (R. Yechezqel Italki teaches Jesus is Moshiach ben Yoseph as Abraham Abulafia taught; that he served to help raise global messianic consciousness in general- in the third two millenia era of Messiahs in preparation for Messianic era. Which to me sounds similar to Maimonides saying (Pauline) Christianity and Islam(ic Christianity) exist to seed the world with Torah ideas. I find it strange Christians don't seem to embrace Judaism as Desk of Christianity as much as one should under WWJD? alone, looking at his life as an ideally lived life as mussar model- study as Jesus studied- who probably had a trilingual understanding of Torah in Hebrew Targum and Proto-Septuagint? (But I was reading Daf Yomi recently that it praised Torah in Persian? Was Torah reasonably available to study in Persian in (Babylonian) Talmudic times?)

[@URHUSBANDBEATSU]

If it's members only why you got it public for nonmembers to see? Or is it just click bait? 🤔🤔

[@NicholasUmholtz]

Join

[@URHUSBANDBEATSU]

@@NicholasUmholtz why join when he has it open for nonmembers as well? What sense does that make?

[@jonnieinbangkok]

When it was live, only members could view it or ask questions.

[@URHUSBANDBEATSU]

@@jonnieinbangkok so

[@AaronMiller-rh7rj]

​@@jonnieinbangkokit was a live chat with live questions. Why join is an easy question. Why is it shown to the public? (I am glad because I am not a member) The best answer I have is that they say there are No dumb questions.
