Excellent sermon as always rabbi Jacobson. An honor to call you my rabbi. I'm an ex-Nazi myself. Gave it to God though and he saw me through. We don't tolerate anti-Semitism here.

[@khalhina8495]

Anti-Israel is not Anti-Semitism. Although we now see a justification for being Anti-Semite when we see the Genocide in Gaza.

[@timmiller7338]

Genesis 12v3 protects Jewish people, maybe even all decendants of Abraham. That is heritage and includes Muslim people too. Some Christians may see the orthodox Jews as being antichrist, and they may not like Jesus, but God loves his heritage people and keeps them anyway. Perhaps Father God has Jesus to save them anyway, and they can thank him later! So orthodox Jews are not anti God or anti Messiah, but, keep the Father first, like mature Christians should too. Jesus kept The Father first too! We should not fall short of keeping The Father first. Getting wrapped up in any lower details can be bad too. Variety, freedom, choices, opposition, all good things.. There was a band called MC. 10,000 ft. Jesus, they overdone it.. ! Lol, A.D. 2024 A.D. for A.I. , what year is it in heaven? Praises to Hashem!

Thank you Rabbi Jacobson. I am relatively new to your teachings but have loved every one of them. Our world really is focused on "knowledge" but you are right, if we are not mindful in our decisions and thoughts including our hearts and souls......then we look out the window and see the world we live in now, which is a very sad and scary place.

I agree that there are people who have not allowed deep love in nor shared with others. Empathy and compassion for others is a form of love that poor leaders lack. They are the people who do not truly love themselves. Our God is Pure Love and therefore we should love ourselves completely and love our neighbors as ourselves. Love and gratitude.

[@liteenergy4843]

Thanks for your talk. I think I'm going to watch/listen to it twice. Something that I was wanting to ask you, or wondering if it was something you would want to address: I've encountered a number of people who accuse others of being "Islamaphobic". The thing is, is that these same people seem to be like 'everything-a-phobic'. Really, they are Christian-a-phobic, Jewdism-a-phobic, Hindu-a-phobic, Buddhist-a-phobic, Athiest-a-phobic, Agnostic-a-phobic, what else is there? How does one deal with this or relate to this? There's a temptation to just go off on them and this leads to more negativity, but I reach a point where I don't know how else to deal with it or my emotions take over my mind or something. Thank You if you ever have the time to look at this or address this. Thanks so much for your talks and your lectures.

Thank you Rabbi . Didn’t know that about Bertrand Russell. Disturbing quote.

[@tristantinnon1926]

It also sticks awkwardly in the ears this linguistic convention of HAVING a Soul. We ARE Souls. Monistically, albeit it transiently or in spatio-temporal limits, OCCUPYING bodies. No Gnostic dualists over here. Reality is One, all the Multiverses as they are. But individual CONSCIOUSNESS survives, conditionally, to be gatheredto greater collective individuation, whereas, replayable as they may be, bodies more or less belong to the Earth. The idea of our HAVING Souls always struck me as a darkly materialist and even Capitalist ideological trick.

Thank you Rabbi. To have either without the other is unbalanced.

I get it's a turn of phrase, but there simply is no such situation as a mind without a Soul. Only dark-made or dark-turned Souls. I think we can go beyond this illusory paradox between Intellect and Emotion if they construct them holistically as Intellectual Emotion. The Ultimate of which would be Creative Imagination.

I use math therms but mostly the problems I solve are in other areas than mathematics, yet I was good in math during my studies, which did not lead to academic career, because of difficulties in life. I had to go to work instead of university.

I was able to foresee the Russian attack for defend of ethnic russian areas in Ukraine that were being ethnicly cleansed by the Kyiv Junta that was installed after a quite large demonstrations of 10 to 20 thousand people. Yet it was not even close to 1% of the population that had just elected a Russia leaning president in last free elections there have been in Ukraine since 2014. Compared to US 2020 elections, there was no such statistical science law breaking anomalies or massive mail in ballot campaigns using covid as an excuse. When confronted, the officials just repeated the mantra, votes were recounted and results were alligned, where people were rightfully asking to check the votes themselves, like autographs from mail in ballots and the computer software that was easily hacked by experts before the elections, showing how easy it was to break in and change the vote count etc. etc.

Love is protective and supportive, loyal too! Love heals, yes, actually heals inside and physically too! Life and biology are geared that way. God and mother nature bless your love with rewards. If you're on your own, you can still love God, Life, and cherish the memories and people that you love. It's good to remember all that God has done and is doing for his children, whether the lone wolf, or the pack member, loving life is a form of Agape love that will grow to include others eventually, even just to effect them in a positive way, for the return love and good karma. Grow and grow to lack nothing!! I love to see and help G-d's kingdom grow! Praises for Agape love, the secure foundation! The Earth spins, biology ages, but the spiritual world lives on!

When considering dark aspects of an intelligent mind, the most disconcerting aspect I ponder is the potential to wreak great destruction on a large scale by someone who manipulates others with targeted rhetoric. Someone with a Machiavellian type personality, when in a position of power can influence and indoctrinate followers to accept, for example, the dehumanizing of others. To think there are those who so willingly and blindly let their minds be controlled by individuals who have no concern for anyone - anyone - else. The human mind holds many mysteries. Thank you again, Rabbi for delving into topics such as these. Difficult, though they may be, we must always remember. And teach, remaining aware of the risk of complacency. Continued and greater blessings!
