Thank you for this wonderful presentation. I am an Asian American. I love Jews and Israel. This year election I will vote for the one candidate who supports Israel the most. This is my only criteria.

[@shrimpie202]

I feel the same. And by the way I love Jews and Asian-Americans ! ❤

[@wilsonlainglaing8739]

The Jews are suffering the curse that was on Jesus..the crucifixion..if your not accepted by the .. world..it's a compliment..

[@ruthietaylor8756]

God bless you amen

[@022647nadia]

Thank you for this powerful lecture. I have learned much and it gives us all hope in these difficult times.

[@haydeecornfeld6438]

I just listened again to your magnanimous presentation on 2300 years of Antisemitism. The power of your words like lightening left me both in awe and tears. The tears came at the end when you told us what the oldest scroll of Torah said. Many blessings Rabbi Wolpe with health sending strength.

[@maliniM-ze2yh]

Very powerful and informative speech. Thank you. Long live Jewish people.

[@createyourownparadise18]

It just wow! Most Magnificent orator preacher thinker philosopher rabbi in the world ❤ Yes alot great great rabbis, and Rabbi David Wolpe is special gifted that could moved audiences' heart n soul thru "magic" words. I hold breath n have goosebumps

[@raymondjazzopardi9504]

Inspiring. I am not Jewish/no Jewish connections, but I have come to admire these capable, incredibly resilient but much-maligned people. Jews should walk tall in the face of abject ignorance and stupid, senseless hate.

[@saraleigh5336]

Thank you. The Jewish people is too small to do this alone and grateful for friends like you.

[@ruthietaylor8756]

Bless you

[@pennyadrian7774]

I feel the same. Our human family would be horribly diminished without the contributions of our Jewish brothers and sisters. Am Yisrael Chai.

[@Unmoved12345]

Brilliant.

[@spiritofseventysix1155]

Enjoyed as always learning from your experience and personal perspective. Thank you Rabbi David J. Wolpe *(my Moshe), as I appreciate your sharing with us such introspective insight on our Jewish journey of being saddle along side dispersion with antisemitism and yet perhaps ironically I often wonder if in part it also focused us on our strategy, strength and heritage as Jews ✡️ Gut Shabbes Shalom Aleichem Best - Mordechai (*) Moshe Deliverer. One who gives freedom from distress and the ability to pursue one's way. Often understood in a "this-worldly" manner of political deliverance. 😌🫡😇 ⏰️🏃‍♂️☕️🥯📚✏️📖⏲️🤷‍♀️aka🤷‍♂️ 🇮🇲Threelegsoman🇮🇱

[@cenaglass255]

I grew up in the deep south, southwest Louisiana, and were closer to African Americans. I had to deal with KKK on a weekly basis. I really understand antisemitism then and now. I was not exempt then nor now. I may have been an underground Jew, then from fear. I was always knew what I was then and now.

[@tomnou5722]

Powerful lecture.. Thank you

[@user-hl4mf7st2s]

An incredibly wise and profound examination of antisemitism. I wish you could speak in every large modern orthodox shul: your insight and wise nuanced humanism is so needed for this community.

[@TualaThomasStancil-pj5of]

Thank-you Rabbi David for a great prentation G-d bless Israel n best regards from Samoa.

[@watchman4todayreloaded192]

I'm glad that Rabbi Wolpe recognised that evangelical Christians are now among the most supportive of people to the Jews at this time. I find it interesting that he talks about the Christian - Jewish disagreement as a family problem, but didn't pay as much attention to the disagreement between Isaac and Ishmael. The Muslims, more than the Christians, make the Jews (and the Christians) more supernaturally godlike. They claim that we were somehow able to change all our scriptures, all over the world, under different rulers and in different languages - all in the same way. If we had been able to do that despite Allah wanting to preserve his words, we would have proven ourselves greater than Allah himself. As a Christian I am very glad that Christianity is now back on track and teaches that it was the sins of all of us that made the sacrifice of the Son of Abraham necessary. What ever the Jews (or more like the religious leaders of the Jews) did or didn't say Jesus died on a Gentile Cross by the hands of Gentile soldiers. I apologise for the centuries when the Christian church has not recognised this sufficiently and the Jewish people have suffered for it. Now, we both face the problem that Rabbi Wolpe talked about as being bearers of the conscience and the consciousness of sin that people want to get away from. Now it looks very much as though the Christians of Europe might end up like the people of Lebanon having to run from their own countries as the idolaters of Marx and Muhammad join together to destroy the Judeo-Christian heritage of the continent. We have let the spiritual sons of Ishmael come and take political control in London and other parts of Europe and we have been disarmed by false accusations of racism, when it should be the Arab supremacism of Islam and the racism coming from Marx that should be most evident to all. I hope that you will pray for us as we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, all Israel and the diaspora of Jews across the world. L'chaim !

[@saadykohanim7489]

I am Iranian Jewish and I love your comment

[@saadykohanim7489]

This lecture is one of the most beautiful and eye opener I ever heard. Even before end of the lecture I decided to save this lecture and listen this lecture again and offer to my family member and friends to listen it. Thank you so much

[@lutzbudde6686]

Rabbi David Wolpe lecture should (must) become part of the curriculum for high school and college students to get a better understanding that anti-Semitism is wrong and irrational. Rabbi Wolpe speaks there to the convert, let him speak to educate people, Any fair-minded person would be motivated to speak out against anti-Semitism after hearing his lecture. May he be heard by many people.

[@Peter-ov6xh]

LOL.

[@baruchhoffman7186]

Thank you !!!! I attended your late father’s first sermon at Har Zion Temple I loved the way he would walk around the bima as he spoke. No one ever fell asleep when he gave his drashot. Thank you for your contribution to American Jewish Life. A greatful transplant from Tzefat

[@dawnwhite4036]

Wonderful presentation....

[@GoldasGirls]

Very informative, and so needed to hear for many...

[@JeremieLendo-tm1vs]

Being Jewish cannot be changed because it is rooted in the soul, the deepest and foundation of the humanbeing.

[@user-iq7th6rd7s]

❤

[@JeremieLendo-tm1vs]

Since I assume to be Jew, freeing myself from a hermetic family's secrecy, several persons have taken distance from me. But I cannot run away from myself. May Adonai be praised.

[@jashmersingdebising749]

May God be with you

[@natepancer9970]

you spoke great detail of christian antisemitism, but hardly of Arab semitism. In recent times, Arab antisemitism have tried to annihilate Israel of all of its jews. Also, you did not address an importent religious component causing antisemitism as stated in various chapters of the Torah. You are very articulate and bright essentially giving psychological insight, leaving out explaining the reason of why only Jews are unique. --ben

[@katyakompaneyets7982]

The glorious and tragic history of our people.

[@rachelwolff5094]

Now we have a country and a very strong army. That's one difference.

[@kevingallagher2385]

Shalom to our elder family the Jewish people, Adonai`s chosen people.

[@user-iq7th6rd7s]

Powerful ❤

[@pampaz2741]

He who blesses Isreal will be blessed those who curse Israel will be cursed!! We love and value life and try and help others its part of our genetic makeup!!

[@Peter-ov6xh]

Christian Zionists make me laugh.

[@Islamophobiaisalie]

The leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinwar, had a heart operation at an Israeli hospital and also took his daughter there when she was sick! This world is sooooo insane!!! 🤯

[@tigersforever4577]

Thank you this inspiring and illuminating lecture.

[@YonieZukowsky51]

The Jews in England France and Australia will be experiencing some hard times.

[@scottkubala1671]

Shalom, Rabbi. Many thanks for your expression of thought.

[@JeremieLendo-tm1vs]

Indeed, Jesus and all f 16:47 irst followers were good Jews. Jesus never said something against His own people. He was a right Jew, tolerating no deviation from the law. If you read what He said about Torah, then you will see the difference between what he said and what others pretend.

[@monicaucdm1091]

❤ yes 1815 years Jews were expelled from their land and is not a coincidence that Roman and British Empire called Palestina that land. They deceived The Rotshilds , I wish I could have a Rotshild in Chile , a rich that look after its people.

[@Newoak]

Sounds mostly like american apologism. But I still feel that most Jews will know the future is in Israel. In G-d I trust.

[@davidabulafia7145]

I hope this rabbi does not vote for Biden.

[@user-qu6sx3eo7b]

That Anti-Semitism has been around for so long it seems the reason must be systemic and I wonder whether it is that to claim to be 'Gods' Chosen People' is felt to be a conceit.

[@Islamophobiaisalie]

Come on! Even the Christian’s agree on that. They were the chosen people to go into the holy land. That’s just history, whether you believe in God or not. It doesn’t mean they are special! It just means “chosen” to go into the land of Israel! You’re reading it wrong.

[@49michael1960]

As a jew you don't have " to excuse" to be a jew, a jew is a jew like a christian is a christian, like other human beings, we have different religion and this makes us a little bit different. You qouted Rome ... the jews didn't pray to the emperor as a divine beeing... , the early christians didn't do that either and both were killed, burned, taken to the cross. Now I am going to listen the lecture - now 7:45 - ...

[@rsr789]

Um, but Judaism isn't just a religion...

[@cathyontong5324]

ITA NOT CULTURE OR HARD WORK. GOD ENBUED THE JEWS WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES BECAUSE HE WANTED JEWS TO BE A LIGHT TO THE NATIONS, SHOW GOD TO THW WORLD.......JUST THE SAME WAY AS HE GAVE WOMEN SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES ABOVE MEN,,,......BECAUSE BRING UP GOD'S LITTLE BABIES AND CHILDREN GOD REQUIRED A SUPER SPECIAL MOTHER TO DO THIS. !♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AM YISRAEL CHAI❤❤❤❤❤❤NO MATTER WHAT WE CHRISTIAN LOVE YOU COS YOU GAVE US......JESUS ! PTL 1

[@Islamophobiaisalie]

This is a whack comment! You’re discrediting Jews who have converted! 🙄

[@know_not_wickedness]

Revelations 3:9 Orthodox, Christians know the truth and it's not antisemitic.

[@dontaskmeforusername]

read 1st Thessalonians 2 14-15. "Adversaries to all men"

[@geneticsmatter3834]

Con man. He talks as if his people have never done anything wrong.

[@simonmarcus4025]

A brilliant lecture. BUT one of the many tragic consequences of the Gaza war is that references to the Jews as the exponents of conscience can precipitate only a wince and a reddening of the face. A war waged with maximal savagery, including the slaughter and maiming of children in their thousands and the starvation of millions has stripped us of the right to claim conscience, compassion or mercy as distinctive Jewish traits. As individuals, each of us may still heed the promptings of conscience, but the identification of the Jewish people as a whole with conscience is no longer persuasive. This is its own tragedy. And one elected monster in particular has brought it upon us.

[@bridgetbold6867]

Start asking yourselves some questions......clearly YHWH is not too happy that you crucified your Messiah.

[@Peter-ov6xh]

This is an absolutely nauseating load of nonsense.

[@DixieFaukner]

41:56 like who? Amy Schumer and Michael Rapaport 😂?

[@wesleycurryii3341]

THE MESSIAH of the JEWS, JESUS CHRIST, gave NOAH the words BLEND DO NOT MIX.....the ONLY Jewish secret, I am the man of the earth.....so, NO, YOU ARE NOT JEWISH YET.
