Rabbi Shais Taub: My Name is and I am a human being

Everyone's familiar with the principles of recovery from addiction. But not many understand the 12 steps are also valuable tools for spiritual development. In this talk, addictions expert Rabbi Shais Taub demonstrates how these faith-based techniques can teach us to free ourselves from negative thought and behavioural patterns, what to do about unhealthy attachments and relationships that we are hooked on and how to bond with others in a healthy manner.

Can you please explain the Messiah & about Jesus from the Jewish perspective? Formerly Christian, now feeling I need to stick to the Old Testament & what it says about God. Also have no idea which Jewish bible to get; would like one that has both English & Hebrew. Confused! Help please lol Shalom 😊

[@roberth.retallickr.n.8069]

We don’t really recognize a Jesus. We know of multiple people who fit the bill from that time. It is likely he was an Esseyan, which was a big deal at that time and if you research them it will make a bunch of sense. Jesus really represents and old argument going on to this day which broken down into its basic question is about form or function. Some of us say it’s all form, just do what it says to do, and the function people say there has to be heart in it or it doesn’t work. You can somewhat see these delineations in the color of Kippah, though not always. Judaism, Torah judaism has nothing to say about Messiach. That isn’t Torah at all and really a distraction from the real work that need done, but some Jews do believe in Messiach. They consider David to be the first.

[@roberth.retallickr.n.8069]

It doesn’t matter the language the Torah is. Of course the Hebrew is the holy tongue and I think reading it in Hebrew has more in it, but that goes along with just how Hebrew works. Rabbi Taub is from the Chabad sect. They have a really great Chumash, with even Aramaic in it, and loads of good stuff.

@@roberth.retallickr.n.8069 Thank you! You gave me lots of new words to look up lol Couldn't find anything via good regarding the word Esseyan, just a few name meanings but I am not sure that they were what you're referring to.

[@LoveYah777]

@@roberth.retallickr.n.8069 I have been enjoying learning a bit of Hebrew lately so I wanted to have a Bible that had both English and Hebrew to I compare the words. Back in the 80s I took a lot of languages in school but lost some of the knowledge as I have not used them. That did not stop my love for learning new languages though! What is a Chumash?

Living with a fatal condition isn’t the tragedy. The tragedy is to never understand G-D’s reason for writing it into the plot.

".... but if they think it reflects badly on what I represent--that cannot be." See that's why I'm so lucky to Not be a minority (I'm Aryan-American); if I blow it, I don't have as much to lose. Makes it easier.... Although I Don't Know how that helps you sry :P Great talk.

😔 I don't know if I'll come back. I'm presently leaving at minute marker [11:42] As it sailed with them in waves like hills, Noah called his son, who was isolated: "O my son, come ride with us; do not be with the disbelievers." 👣💔👣 🤫⌛🤫 🌹 (2:104) O you who believe, do not say, "Raa`ena" (be our shepherd). Instead, you should say, "Unzurna" (watch over us), and listen. The disbelievers have incurred a painful retribution.
