[@johnboylee5815]

That doesn’t make sense. Read back what you just said. You are stating the obvious...

[@NiePieerdol]

Actually it's Sartre's quote

[@Ffcchh0]

Wow!

[@missym5196]

Geddy Lee is Jewish

[@user-qp6vg9ho8u]

This man looks like a moving painting! Incredible

[@InayatTantry]

Haha. That's so funny.

[@Olovlig]

Just remember to pay respects. This way diversity TRULY strengthens us. Stay wise and be well my friend Ahmed :)

Gtreat Rabbi, unfortunately passed during Covid. As a Catholic I watch him and have some of his books. He speaks for all people.

[@hecdc]

I'm a devoted Catholic, and I have so much respect for the Rabbi, and often watch his videos for consult and advice. He is a good man of God.

[@luckieluuke131]

I don't even believe in God and i have so much respect for this Rabbi :)

Brilliant, Sensitive Man of G-D, Of Blessed Memory. May his soul be elevated. (He just passed today due to covid 19 :(

“Our decisions are good or bad based on how we made them not what the consequences were. “ wonderful insight

[@ltmandar]

I was going to quote the same, it seems true

[@jdproctor7700]

I’m not a Jew but honestly, this man makes more sense than my pastor. So far this so the third video of him I’ve seen.

[@peterlindal3352]

Hi friend, thanks for writing, as a Christian i think I have so much to learn from People of different faiths, wherever there is truth, life, love, there is God's good Will opened in Jesus, i hope you can continue to feel Gods love and Christ, God bless you!

[@Sara-et4et]

I think so too. Jews are so much more relatable for me. I think I’m actually Jewish.

[@xoxrandomgirlxoxlol]

I'm a muslim and honestly, I can't watch enough of him! I agree and feel the same way about literally everything I've heard him talk about so far! He puts it so eloquently. It's very clear to understand. I've subscribed!

[@szolanek]

He is a real human being. As such, as I see, has one religion: truth.

[@johnloco2240]

we ara all human beings.. nomatter where you from or what you religion is.. dont forget pls!! stand up for the people who are struggeling in this life.. for the people who are crying at night because they cant feed there kids.. while 1% of the people owns all the money in the world!! the truth will conquer!!

[@ianhudgell5150]

You like him because he is a human being and you as a human being are the same..from whatever faith you come from we are all from this planet and have a lot in common

[@splash2272]

Arabs and Jews have a common patriarch. When Abraham died his sons Ishmael and Isaac put aside their differences and buried their father together. Surely Abraham raised all his children with the same set of values, and those values influence the world for the better. And when enough Arabs and Jews acknowledge and respect the dignity of each other's unique blessings, and governments go along and let people start working together openly and in safety, the Semitic peoples will again take their places among the leadership in every human endeavor.

[@jonminnella2168]

There is no muslim there is no Jew there is no Catholic there is no religion there is only God and us if there was supposed to be all these other things that we call religion he would have given them to us immediately at the time of Adam and Eve there was only Adam and Eve in the beginning do not get distracted by the devil's work religion is a division organized religion is a cult love your fellow man listen to the words of the good book whether it's the Torah the Bible or the Koran inside you know what's right and wrong live by what's right and do no wrong Jesus gave this example I'm not going to argue anything about Jesus whether he was the son of God or whether he was God or anything like that but he left you a good example we all need to live by the rules of mankind be good to one another and the fighting will stop don't live by the labels of religion We Are All God's Children let love be the way

[@sylhomeo6351]

Smartest speech I’ve ever heard about making decisions. Brilliant man!

"Sometimes we can be bribed by our wants, rather than to do what we know is the better thing." Yes! And a fascinating way of putting it.

I let people make a decision for myself and regret it. It doesn’t matter what the outcome of my own decision making might be, I lost the chance to own it... Thank you Rabbi for a wisdom and passion! Love your ability to explain and break down to simple pieces big things.

Decision making is tied to assertiveness - very insightful

[@nomorecensoringme]

Thanks for posting. Rabbi Twerski was a treasure that continues to shine.

[@ullargustavson7423]

If bad things happen as a result of good decisions, we must not be too put off. Our decisions are good or bad determined by how we made them, not what the consequences were

[@swkoppable]

I wish I’d ever had a chance to meet him. Great man of the real thinkers. 😘

I wish we had Political Leaders who think and speak this way in America and Abroad🇺🇸

The beautiful thing about wisdom is that it doesn't care what your religion is.

I've had a horrible time making decisions for many years. Now I'm seeing that it intails thinking it through some and choose the wisest ones. Thank you

[@nickvoutsas5144]

You are a beautiful person and the way you speak resonates within me. God’s wisdom is what allows us to act with Integrity and with discernment. I suppose the end result will be peace of mind.

Excellent advice. I needed to see this today.

[@xerxesmontes9828]

how soothing is his voice though?

[@drpaulchan]

Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski! I hope to make great and difficult decisions with integrity and courage! Thanks Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski! #SecretsSelfmadeBillionaires

[@nowankersallowed2115]

There is a lot of wisdom and understanding shown with these Rabbis.. I appreciate that they have allowed it to be seen. To see that there is questioning and weighing up of information given.. not just do this because demanding. I agree that what feels right and what is right are not always the same thing. Not everything is always cut and dry.. but seeking through both the word of God and wise counsel.. which can be like this because those words can bring healing or understanding like the soothing on the mind and soul that has been damaged whether by own decisions or the decisions of others upon a life. There is such an openness in this Rabbis approach that would allow for further or deeper conversation. Thank you for your exampleship.

[@tess303]

That's awesome! I have made many wrong decisions from the wrong place and I like the wisdom in this. Plus about praying. How important it is.Teresa

[@FuneralParty-rsf]

In Greece, we say sometimes you can't have a dog full and whole bread, meaning there is no perfectly balanced decision without any cost.

[@Kenji314159]

Very wise words. I really like Jewish philosophy (well, apart from belief in holy books and god), I think their philosophy is among the reasons why Jews are so successful.

[@mikhacoffman4522]

Rina Quartz saying that the Torah is not divine makes it lose all its greatness and authority

[@SurvivalGamesIL]

@@mikhacoffman4522 why so?

[@mikhacoffman4522]

Alucard Israel 1) Authority - Because if something isn’t divine (from an higher authority that regulates the world) what binding authority does it have on man, since all men are on the same level. (Obviously some are smarter then others, but no claim can be more binding then another if both claims come from the same type of being) therefore for something to have real authority and be binding it has to come from something that’s beyond and above humans and that is God

[@mikhacoffman4522]

Alucard Israel 2) Greatness - Similarly to authority, everything man “made”, whether concepts or objects is only great, relatively to what the need is for it in each individual. That is to say that an idea without divinity only obtains greatness if it concerns the receptors and benefits them, and since no man is in essence above the other, what is valued to you for x reasons can be absolutely worthless to me, since I have no association with it and therefore it’s greatness is completely subjective and cannot be considered true greatness. However when something is divine, when it comes from a Higher power, a power that created the reality of humans and humans themselves, greatness is not relative to each person, since it’s coming from the Being that defines them. So to finalize, a non Divine Torah, looses all greatness and authority since they’re both subjective to the receptor.

[@SurvivalGamesIL]

this rabbi is interesting,i could listen to him preach every weekend about non religious stuff.if only we had such role models and men of wisdom in life to guide us.in this fast paced and chaotic globalised world where few things makes sense.

[@simongeng2202]

The similarity with these talk and that of Alan Watts on choice is very similar. Just different ways of describing it but it amazes me as to how such wise and intelligent men came to the same conclusion. I am truly grateful for this fact.

[@marshawoods4983]

So I have heard of this Rabbi I've only listened to one or so of his videos and tell him out really like him

[@trakrekkid]

This is good advice. I think a corollary is that it's a lot better to fail at something you love than to fail at something you hate.

[@Music-uk9tg]

Loving your message! And that bread!!

[@ddruxman3579]

Brings to mind a statement from Rav Eliyahu Dessler, giant in Torah philosophy: (on בחירה) Making decisions can be complicated or clear cut. Very often, if you are stuck and unable to commit to a decision, and can't get past the thought that both sides have their pros, it's often a result of the inability to accept which way is definitely no good for you. In short, he said, You can't decide, not because you DON'T know which way is right, but because you DO KNOW...and you don't really "want" to go that way.

[@TheBroDude777]

Wonderful!

[@szolanek]

I really enjoyed listening to him. I found him better company, as enlightened. ... By the way, about decision making, we can go a bit further than that. 1) How to make good decisions? ... You have to make enough bad ones! 2) There is ancient language, all spiritual. It names everything, what it is. For the word "decision" uses the term "tilting". As the tower of Piza. Because what we actually do, as babies standing by the crib, holding on to it, in order to learn to walk they have to let the secure position go, bend forward, actually falling forward, than try to put our feet in a new position and fighting for a new balance, just as he mentioned the man on the rope. *** What we had done in the first two years, we have to do it again, this time at will. Learn to see, communicate and walk. Decisions has no importance at all. Who remembers of the Teddy Bear or the big old clock, made me learn to fall forward, catch and hold and fall again. Today I can run, even backward without any goal, just for the sake of it.

[@instantshivang339]

Rightly said, you never know whether the decision made is right or wrong. It is important to make a decision. And then leave it to the divine...
