[@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511]

Thanks for the feedback we appreciate it. All the best

[@rorabin]

Thank you so much Rabbi Breitowitz for sharing your brilliance, and doing it so humbly. Sending blessings to the rav and his loved ones.

[@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511]

Thank you for your kind words, unfortunately the Rav doesn't see these comments, but I will try and let him know about the warmth and care he is receiving from his listeners. If it's worth anything, I was touched by your comment.

It seems in terms of a bracha that it might be more logical to address HaShem in the third person first, and then address him in the second person as a developmental sense in becoming closer, as opposed to going further away in the third person towards more formality?What does the Rav think?

[@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511]

This is not the Rav, nut what you are saying is sensible, and this could very well be how other prayers are formulated. But regarding blessings specifically, the deeper Kabbalistic meanings are the foundation of the structure; and according to Kabbalah I think it is correct to say that we are working from below to above, first addressing G-dliness manifest within creation and ending with the Infinite, which is beyond grasp. All the best

[@sstt2934]

question: so regarding gay, we can sit in our heart all day long as long as we don't send in the material world is that correct.? Some of those desires can be corrected with hormones being there was a study that on the beaches the fish were getting sexually confused because of all of the sunscreen that was coming off peoples bodies causes the fish to be gay . very interesting study subsequently day now of change some of the sunscreen? Confused to fish. My suggestion is if somebody's having gay thoughts they should have their hormones tested the balance is off. Simple Simon

What's an appropriate INTERNET FILTER? ANS. --,-> your personal DISCIPLINE and SELF CONTROL! Isn't that what G-D wants you to do?

[@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511]

There are different companies in different areas You could google internet filters in the US or ask a religious rabbi type of a person what he uses or what are the best ones. If I understand you question - yes one needs to be disciplined and have self control but one also must protect oneself because one thing can lead to another. A person watching a kosher video and see a suggested video that not kosher and be tempted to klick on it, this can lead to worse things like even watching pornography. All this can be avoided with a filter.

[@marklevy9314]

Evolution is not a scientific theory but a historical theory which along with the "past is a guide to the present" idea goes against not only the account in Bereshit but every other historical record from every culture and civilisation that ever existed.

[@captainpandabear1422]

Nonsense. Do not make religion and very well-grounded science compete; it's a fool's game.

[@Fcmusic70]

And so they say that religion is good for mankind? 🤔come on grow up🥵🥵

[@EternalIntelligence]

you sound like a low IQ person, go away.

[@user-zv9um9pb6w]

Lol go around to all the other religions and say that. LGBTQ religion should warrant that also.

[@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511]

Growing older only = growing up when we get better and wiser, not when we end up old fools that think they know better than God. And even according to your misguided way of thinking it’s all relative I see it my way you see it your way - both are equally valid. So please why don’t you grow up and live and let others live the path of their choice without calling them babies, when you are the one being a baby, and a pushy one at that - telling me it’s your way or no way. (Page manager not the rabbi in the video).
