I could listen to Rabbi Kessin 24 hrs a day. He is a true genius

Yes! Hes very sharp and quick with his responses, speaks with much clarity and clearness, truly a man of wisdom, a work of art!

Rabbi Kessin is incredible and has so much wisdom to share with the world. May he live a long life!

[@JonathanBen]

Indeed he does!

[@user-ec6rx4kj9r]

Rabbi Kessin rightly predicted the end of the British Kingdom. On the day of Queen Elizsbeth funeral when two golden arks appeared above two London Palaces Rabbi Kessin lectured and advised his listners that the Elizabeth' great funeral will mark the end of Edom's greatness and she will be the last great ruler.

[@WizeOwl764]

Is the Rabbi in NYC ?

[@bobvanwagner6099]

@@user-ec6rx4kj9r After following Rabbi Kessin for many hours over some years one would be able to make these type of predictions, because he trains us all to see the internal structure of the times, per the Divine Plan. After 300 hours or so, with a lot of personal follow-up and pondering, it might become to one like predicting when the next rush hour will happen.

THANKS AGAIN JONATHAN. AMAZING SHIUR BARUCH HASHEM FROM BARCELONA SPAIN ❤️🇮🇱❤️

[@yerachmielmordechai]

When I started my path back to the Torah four books paved the way. 1. The Artscroll Chumash - the commentary was excellent and concise. 2. Meam Loez - Actually a 20 volume commentary on the Chumash, it brought the Torah to life. Lots of everything. 3. - The Thirteen Petalled Rose by Adin Steinsaltz - everything they never told you about in Hebrew school and wish they had. 4. A good siddur, I like the complete one from artscroll. I now know I know very little, I know G-d is real and the Torah is truth. Just do the three T's. Teshuva, Tzedakah and Tefilla. These three things can reverse a bad verdict.

That’s kinda interesting. I’ve been listening to Rabbi Mizrachi constantly since COVID started and Rabbi Kessin seriously for about a year and half. I never knew they knew of each other. I feel like I am now part of some secret club. Am I now one of the cool guys? Also a big shout out to Rabbi Shimon Kessin.

[@jakobw135]

If you want to help bring the GEULAH, start with the following: Treat your fellow with the RESPECT & HONOR he deserves by not insisting that he follow your particular protocol or that which you have been taught when it comes to revealing not only secular knowledge but also that of Torah! There is no rule that he has to study the same texts like you or follow particular traditions - as long as they are within the realm and umbrella of the HALACHA. This is especially the case when it comes to revealing certain esoteric subjects - regardless of this person's previous training!

Re 5 or 6 worlds, @35:20 or so. The Ain Sof, the Soul, the Spiritual World, the Physical World, the Other Side. In a lecture some years ago, the gifted Rabbi mentioned that which is before Existence, before the Ain Sof which is utterly defiant of any description by men, or even angels of the highest ranks. Also he mentioned that G-d could easily have created other creations, other Ain Sofs. We would have no way of knowing, or even interacting with them.

This could have been a great interview. Unfortunately, you did not mic the Rabbi so his gems were very difficult to hear. You were mic'ed so we heard you clearly but the main point was to hear the Rav (not so much you). Next time come better prepared.

[@bobvanwagner6099]

Comment on the leading scenes of some urban environment. That's not the New Jersey I know, and it is certainly NOT Lakewood or Brick Township, or Wall, or Jackson or Freehold. New Jersey has rural parts. Lakewood is in a rural part. It made a difference to Rabbi Kotler 80 years ago, I am sure, albeit did he see what Ike would do with the Interstates or what Robert Moses would do with the Verrazano? It's like a levitical city, in the surroundings. Used to be so, far more. That's important, I think.

At 1:00: The Grand Mufi of Jerusalem (Muslim) visited the concentration camp (Auschwitz) and one of Hitler's top men visited the Mufi in pre-State Israel. It was the Mufi that gave Hitler the idea of concentration camps. Earlier, there were deportations and work camps. There were plans to construction concentration camps in the Middle-East and North Africa. There were work camps in either Libya or Yemen operated by Arabs with Nazi ideology. Hitler was inspired by the Armenian genocide by the Turks in the early 20th cent- around 1904 or 1911. Hitler aw that the World didn't care about the Armenians and knew the World wouldn't care about the jews. The word Gestapo refers to the Nazi force, and not what you mentioned. This interview is fascinating. I do agree the world is inherently Anti-Semitic, but I would add a modifier" COVID. I think there was something int he vaccine that acted on peoples' personality, judgment and cognitive perception. It is a fact that COVID crosses the blood-brain barrier. Have you noticed how people have become angry easily and more impulsive? The world has gone made with severely impaired judgment. I agree that Bibi should not have allowed Biden to dictate the war b.c. we know Obama is pulling the strings; and Obama hates Israel & the Jews. Bibi was in a tough position, and it seems like USA has controlled Israel since its inception in 1948. I do agree if Israel acted swiftly to finish the job the world couldn't do anything. Now it's dragging on, and more hostages are dead. Only Israel gives aid and food to its enemy. It's a terrifying time to be Jewish. I want to move out of NYC. Which is safer=parts of USA or Israel?

So what is the antidote to the HATRED evoked by the Siniatic experience? DON'T DOMINATE your fellow man by your self-righteousness - deserved or not! Rather, use what the Creator gave you to ELEVATE your fellow man to where he can worship G-D in himself, according to the prescription in the Torah! Remember, if you want someone to listen to you, then you have to listen to them! That's a social law of the Universe!

[@Karen-dk1ec]

You can Google the name of the Roman Emperor who changed he names of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea to Palestina-Syria during the Jewish revolt. The name stuck through Antiquity, Crusades, Ottoman Empire and the British Mandate. Palestine is the name of a territory not a sovereign country. Most of the Palestinians came during the 7th century known as the Arab Conquest. Non-Jews delegitimize Israel's claim to the land. There is plenty of archeological evidence corroborating with the Bible. Moreover, Jews (including Ashkenazi) DNA is similar to Arabs more than their European neighbors. Consistent findings since the 1980s.

[@maxygg]

The interviewers voice is laconic and constantly interrupts the Rav. It was painful to listen to the shiur in its entirety to to his chiming in on the Ravs words and thoughts. The microphone should not have been placed so near the mouth with no thoughts and closer to the Ravs The interview was almost painful to finish. A better approach would have been to let the Rav talk freely about certain topics that come to His mind and go with that instead of a chat format the interrupts his thoughts every few words. The interviewers phrases as Got it , etc were curt and not productive In summation you did not let the Rav Shine on his own since he doesn’t need your help only your microphone
