I am an African American Orthodox Jew who also converted 40 years ago in Jerusalem.I had the pleasure of meeting Rav Gamedze and his wife and family in Israel many years ago. I live in Israel and this Rav is a special נשמה.

[@markmay1015]

I would like to hear your story . I live in Israel

[@borsht321]

Such a special Rabbi! Please have him on again! He’s so inspiring!

[@gilashroot8697]

I wish we could all think, speak, and behave like you. The world would not only be a better, but also a more Godly place. Keep going. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@effy3720]

We were in Ohr Somayach together over 30 years ago. Amazing to hear him speak again after so many years.

[@murep]

Who r you ? I was there with JLE 34 yrs ago. He was there at that time. Shmuel the black convert basketball player was my roommate then. Bertram, Gottlieb, Tatz.

[@Sho-gr3wu]

ILOVE THIS EPISODE AND LOVE AND RESPECT THIS RAV SO MUCH. I'LL REWATCH THIS FOR SURE. A REAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE TO LEARN FROM THE RAV AND IWANT TO THANK YOU ALL OF YOU!

[@raquelkirszenbaum926]

You have embraced real royalty! The beauty of this one is you don't want to run from it just get closer to it!

[@DeedleDoodle18]

I’m A South African, and have visited Swaziland- it’s a beautiful country. I love this story. Totally agree with education being a gift.

[@murep]

I knew him at Ohr Somayach Jerusalem over 30 yrs ago. He was stunning lol, very classy and yes, he really moved like royalty. He knew dozens of languages. He told me he wanted to learn Hebrew but could not learn it in Swaziland so he went to EY. He’s real legit . I think he wore a black fez back then and he was very quiet. He said he lost alot of money leaving his home and family. We spoke once or twice . So nice to see him all these years.

What a ben adam !!!!!. I like how Judaism was bashert for you. I know you are living your best life. Baruch HaShem Am Yisroel Chai

[@RoseDavis-h7j]

How true are his words and what chizuk it is to hear it from a former African Prince. May the Rabbi and his family continue to reach ever higher hights.

[@yitzchakenglard2514]

Wow He has come a long way. Such a humble and wise yid. I remember his wedding, it was drizzling. And I thought to myself nice they are throwing down glitter from heaven. Hashem wanted to show us that he wanted to be part of the Simcha.

[@Fayefreeman]

What a meaningful Rabbi and story, I'm a proud South African, so proud of the Rabbi s journey 🙏🙏🏿🙏🤍💙🤍💙

[@jodea2017]

Amazing story! Also i cant help but notice the hebrew translation of "Gamedze" as in "גם את זה" ="also this" meaning getting the most out of life

[@raisatsvaygenbaum7394]

I loved this episode! He was very inspirational and his words and life meaningful

[@abbyk36]

What an incredible interview!!!! Chills the whole time. So many beautiful insights from this brilliant person, such a kiddush Hashem.

[@aiducha]

Hi guys, incredible podcast. You outdid yourselves. By the way, as a side note, translate the words in Hebrew or Yiddish that you are using (or your guests) because a lot of people from different backgrounds don’t understand and detracts from the excellent job you do. All the best, keep on the amazing work, cheers and greetings from Be’er Sheva, Israel.

[@chawedlamini4137]

God bless you Rabbi Nathan I am a Swazi

[@Rifkyd5]

He must be a brilliant person.

[@dineochaka309]

Thanks Rabbi Gamedze

[@MB-ej5ij]

Wow! Such inspiring emes.

[@antoniajane5442]

Please can you put some of the Jewish words into English? Only commenting in the hope you see this! I have watched a lot of your videos but some words/phrases I don't understand.

[@lisettegarcia]

It's intended for a particular audience. So many Hebrew and Yiddish words are sprinkled in naturally that it would become very burdensome and clunky to translate them all. A better solution would be for you to watch this channel with a friend in the know.

[@antoniajane5442]

I am subscribed to a few Jewish podcasters as I am genuinely interested. I know quite a lot of the words and traditions, but I would like to understand more. Some put the words once up on the screen, or maybe the words could be written in the introduction you can read. A lot of Jewish podcasters have non-Jewish viewers and having the basic translations would possibly attract more viewers. I live in Spain and I don't know any Jewish people here.

[@SwamiMommy]

Great story. Beautiful Neshama!

[@marcel440]

That would be a good and nice thing for them to do. Until then, feel free to ask about the meaning of specific words

[@lisettegarcia]

@@antoniajane5442 the largest podcasters on KZbin are Indian. They don't translate either.

[@isabellelevy1905]

I would like to meet The Rabbi . I am in Tsfat . How can i find him please

[@binyominribiat8394]

Welcome home holy brother

[@morahshani5781]

2 Samuel 23: 11 "Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. When the Philistines banded together at a place where there was a field full of lentils, Israel’s troops fled from them. 12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the Lord brought about a great victory."

Sorry it wasn't Rabbi Gamedze

How should I drive without shoe's 🤔

The actual answer is no. The only one denying someone’s right to be a nation is Israel 🇵🇸
