Shabbat Explained: The Secret to Sacred Rest (w/ Rabbi Susan Goldberg) | Soul Boom | Ep 33

[@beksinski]

Thank you for distinguishing empathy from compassion. Conflating them is the source of so much confusion.

[@Magss_17]

I can’t emphasize enough how much peace and comfort this podcast has brought me and continues to bring me each and every week. I love the variety of speakers you have on, and with each one I find, at the very least, one moment that helps me move through my day, and life, as a better soul. This was beautiful!

[@SoulBoom]

Wow this means so much to us, truly. Thank you for tuning in! 🥹🙏🦄

[@amyhaghighi]

This podcast has helped me in getting through my own health journey these past few months, and when Rabbi Susan spoke here about her cancer journey and how everything else fell away and she hung on (for dear life) to those spiritual virtues like joy to get her through, I knew exactly what she was talking about. What a beautiful and inspiring conversation, thank you.

[@SoulBoom]

Absolutely beautiful, thank YOU!

I love this conversation. A wise woman. Especially loved the part on "conscious discomfort".

[@fenrislyulf8861]

I think of the wilderness journey as a sort of Dark Night of the Soul too, which takes courage to survive. There is courage in being fully authentic, and in facing our own truth, and making adjustments if necessary. Embracing and practicing compassion and empathy takes courage, especially if it's not something we ourselves have experienced.

I watched this episode twice! wow what a wise conversation! I love her♥ she has so much wisdom and knowledge! I wanna point out 4 things: " Be with the World as it is" ( Celebrating it; Loving it) Break free from the need for change or fix it and in " Gratittude" Isnt that ideology the perfect way to think also about ourselves? about our flaws, failures, about our human story? Instead of an ongoing looking for change ( instead of always perceiving us as wrong or broke) with an acceptance view and from that point of not conflict; not violence; not from the arrogance to believe that we cant fail, from a loving perspective to built our lifes around? The second thing to Point it out here ( for me) Is what she talks about " Collective Spiritual Practice"I understand that we are ( as individuals) not always on balance but when we are with other people around we can benefite from their vibes, and also we can felt also identified with their struggles so I think we can become stronger into a Group... Third: I love Rainn's synthesis capacity when he concludes: so Shabbat is a sex day? 😆😋 and Finally: Rainn wich is your most challenge Middot? YOU DIDNT SAY🤔😏😚🥰 LOTS OF LOVE SOULBOOM

[@dosesandmimoses]

Thank you- this is a conversation I’ve been waiting to learn from. Gratitude- this makes sense to me. Again gratitude- I hope people understand the importance of what you are saying… because this a very clear and concise series of messages that embody action as the sound that energy makes … may I request a conversation on trust and what fosters trust? Because cost also are fellow humans and sometimes others don’t listen to boundaries unfortunately

[@sunni7258]

Dear Rainn, Please stop cutting off your guests mid sentence. It's hard to listen to you constantly talking over them when they are sharing and answering your questions. Would have loved to hear the complete thoughts. Thanks for the podcast. ❤

[@DALZEYEZ]

Unrelated as I listen, but curious if you take on any aspiring directors / people wanting to get into narratives and directing but with a spiritual approach 😊

[@zoro7605]

Y’all noticed how he liked every comment except the 1 calling for peace in Gaza 😮😊

[@eggnoodles808]

because it’s antisemitic. what does a rabbi talking about religion have to do with the conflict? it’s the same reason demanding accountability of a random muslim for the actions of hezbollah is islamophobic. if your first thought when seeing a jewish person is blame them for the war… you’re antisemitic. or, to put it into plainer words, you are discriminating against a religious minority. this whole channel is about peace and understanding, try to follow that example please.

[@spicyf]

It doesn't call for peace in Gaza directly, it poses a question to his guest.

[@aeschlimanunlimited5591]

I really appreciate your noting that the comment OP referenced poses a question. But it does so in a way that... feels "off" to me. It carries a very particular vibe, an underlying intent. To me, that comment seems less about initiating a genuinely open discussion, and *seems* (to me) more about co-opting the Rabbi's position/role/identity in assumptive service of a viewpoint. Starting that comment with "I'm sure the rabbi would agree..." has the effect of painting her into a corner (should she engage in conversation); it subconsciously creates a false dichotomy of "agree or disagree", affording her no gracious opportunity to discuss nor respond to it with any of the beautiful, nuanced, fun, uplifting, multi-faceted discussion this podcast is known for. I think OP's observation, whether intentional or accidental, seems to serve a similar function. Both comments create a double-bind: Rainn can't "like" either comment without implying he supports the comment's OP's underlying implication and rewarding the spirit the comments originated from; and if he doesn't like it then OP can make whatever they want of the silence. I'm not here to start or perpetuate an argument, and I'm certainly not trying to make accusations nor assume I know others' intent. It just struck me as deeply fascinating -- like a pattern that finally jumped out in an "ah-HA!" moment. ^_^

[@zoro7605]

@ well first of all thx for the long and thoughtful answer. My reply to that is that their shouldn’t be a agree or disagree position on genocide, yes genocide. The lanca report concluded that 6 months ago the death toll is already at a 180k the official numbers which have stopped 4 months after the start of the war were at 40k. Every week there is a new story about IDF personal committing suicide after their service in Gaza. Every doctor that goes their comes back calling it a genocide and the worst atrocitie they have to witness. And all that with out even mentioning the images and videos that come out by the hour of children with half there body melted of or carrying there family members in a back pack. I get your point, it is not right to tie this genocide on her just because she is Jewish. But I don’t see the harm done by the commentator in this case. They said that they are sure the guest would also take the moraly correct position of not supporting this genocide, while I get the bad after taste, I get a way worse aftertaste after seeing children being starved to death and seeing a letter signed by these Hollywood elites congratulating Biden for not stopping the Arm’s to Israel.

[@spicyf]

@@zoro7605 who classes it as genocide, the ICJ hasn't?

[@tylerpollock9783]

I'm sure the Rabbi will agree with me when I say, "Stop the killing of the Palestinians. Not in our name"

[@stephenlereah7914]

Wondering how you might interpret a comment that says "I'm sure the Imam would agree with me when I say "stop the killing/rape/kidnapping of Israelis. Not in our name" on a video of an interview with a random Imam about Muslim ideology, no special relation to the conflict.

[@IhategoogleAlot]

​@@stephenlereah7914Man, just stop it. 50.000-60.000 people were killed, of which only a fraction were actual bad guys. The rest were children and citizens. Random rape calls about people living in a concentration camp isn't a fucking argument.
