😢. Im so sceard and confused, about religion and the question, of whether you really are listening to the truth??? As the Christians and Jewish people and the Muslims, All are interested in saying that they have been holding the truth, so follow and share them with the news that they have??? How can All of these be true??😢. Is there any chance of getting truith, in All of them?? I only need to be following God is this enough?😢

wow intense comment. Did he ever do anything wrong to you? or are you just really zealous about your approach to judaism?

[@abedanziger2200]

@@georgeg7258 I am zealous about G-d and His Torah and take offense with people who distort it to accommodate pop culture.

[@georgeg7258]

@@abedanziger2200 I appreciate your take. Do you have those same feelings and voice your opinion regarding reform Judaism etc? Or is it his movement of Renewal specifically something you differ from ? I dont personally agree with all his beliefs and am more halacha inclined, but appreciate his contributions. He was def a great scholar and teacher in his expertise of kabbalah and Chassidut. THe opportunity to give more secular jews an alternative for a spiritual judaism. Intrestingly, enough they say the lubavitcher rebbe didnt ostracize him as much ar Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, because shlomo was more "disguised " as orthodox while Zalman was clearly not orthodox.....imo this is an opening to a large discussion, prob beyond the scope of yotuobe discourse...shabat shalom

@@georgeg7258 I’m happy to discuss with you in a different venue given that I had a close relationship with Shlomo. But yes, my feelings are the same for anyone that distorts the Torah especially if they try and sell themselves as authentic. It is better for secular Jews to remain secular than to be sold watered down distorted Judaism, or as I call them “fake Jews” IMHO.
