The Exile of the Torah: What few People Know

Given 11/5/2023 by Rabbi Shimon Kessin

[@eldino8589]

Thank you so much for your deep Divrei Torah. They have given me a new thirst for Torah! So appreciative!

37:20 Wow i am getting confused now. I thought the idea was that the ultimate pleasure is to be like Hashem, and therefore he set up a system where we become infinite givers like Hashem. Then we become similar to Hashem and by doing that we experience the ultimate pleasure, which is not simply to feel close to Hashem, but to some extent to feel like the source itself k'vyochol. The idea of busha-shame is only a physical/emotional symptom of the contradiction between what we should be and what we are. Better keep listening to the shiur i guess. 48:30 Ah i should have listened to the whole thing, beautiful! You basically summed up half on my shiurim in one shiur and even more! Boruch Hashem we have a teacher like you and your brother!

Ahh.. the blasphemy of rabbinical Judaism. Claiming the attributes of The Creator for themselves. Such arrogance leads to hellfire

​@@SalehAbdurRaheem Which version of the Qur'an, is your favorite?

[@adamherskine8594]

​@@SalehAbdurRaheem Unless we are right, and then guess who is trouble then. How about finding out whether we have solid evidence for our traditions, before sealing your fate. God is real, and so was His choosing of the jews at sinai, so tread very carefully, for your own good.

[@element2138]

​@@SalehAbdurRaheem Did you know that the Qur'an considers Talmud, the word of Allah?

[@1dk869]

Well, we arent doing it for hashem to give so he can take , we are really incorporating the necessary godly component that elevates us, therefore we are doing it for ourselves and in that sense hashem cant intervene to give to us , he can assist us , through midat harachamim he can forgive and carry the sin. Its almost like we are a model that hashem created to test if we can transcend ourselves and surprise everything. Fascinating shiur.

Rabbi Kessin you strive harder than anyone I hear when it comes to have the pnemiut and the foundational understanding of things, but I feel that with all this we are still scratching the surface. You and everyone bring up judgement and reward, which at a level is true but the true reason I believe why we have mitzvot, isn't a test, God isn't interested really in rewarding or punishing us, what God really wants is that we change what we are, we are nivriut, creations, and a creation cannot exist in olam haba, we need to change our selves from a nivra to a eloki, it's an existential problem, God isn't playing games, he doesn't have to create this whole scenario in order to punish or reward us no, there is one thing that cannot do and that is to get us to be our own cause, therefore he gave us mitzvot. God doesn't have a problem with forgiving us and letting things go, but this isn't the problem.

Who did solomon say to consoder , the ant.

[@jakobw135]

Maybe you could say that the purpose of the Torah at the Redemption will be to coexist as an independent entity - not only with the hidden aspect of G-D (nature), but also together with the revealed presence of the creator!

[@jakobw135]

If we are all one organism, then why doesn't your body accept a transplant from another member of this One Singular organism?

[@batshevaklein9373]

that is excellent, you do not have the power!

[@BrendaEhrlich]

Is this Jeremiah 31 the new covenant and is this after 1/3rd are left?

[@jakobw135]

One way to illustrate how G-D absolutely coexists with himself is to use a MOBIUS STRIP (a a strip of paper long enough to form a figure 8). Why do you say that ALL CHOICES with the exception of The Commandments are not free will decisions? They certainly are perceived, and appear to be enacted - that way? IOW, from your perspective, there is no practical difference.
