      Arabs and Jews have a common patriarch. When Abraham died his sons Ishmael and Isaac put aside their differences and buried their father together. Surely Abraham raised all his children with the same set of values, and those values influence the world for the better. And when enough Arabs and Jews acknowledge and respect the dignity of each other's unique blessings, and governments go along and let people start working together openly and in safety, the Semitic peoples will again take their places among the leadership in every human endeavor.

    There is a lot of wisdom and understanding shown with these Rabbis.. I appreciate that they have allowed it to be seen. To see that there is questioning and weighing up of information given.. not just do this because demanding. I agree that what feels right and what is right are not always the same thing. Not everything is always cut and dry.. but seeking through both the word of God and wise counsel.. which can be like this because those words can bring healing or understanding like the soothing on the mind and soul that has been damaged whether by own decisions or the decisions of others upon a life. There is such an openness in this Rabbis approach that would allow for further or deeper conversation. Thank you for your exampleship.

    • @mikhacoffman4522
      @mikhacoffman4522 4 года назад +5

      Alucard Israel 1) Authority - Because if something isn’t divine (from an higher authority that regulates the world) what binding authority does it have on man, since all men are on the same level. (Obviously some are smarter then others, but no claim can be more binding then another if both claims come from the same type of being) therefore for something to have real authority and be binding it has to come from something that’s beyond and above humans and that is God

    • @mikhacoffman4522
      @mikhacoffman4522 4 года назад +2

      Alucard Israel 2) Greatness - Similarly to authority, everything man “made”, whether concepts or objects is only great, relatively to what the need is for it in each individual. That is to say that an idea without divinity only obtains greatness if it concerns the receptors and benefits them, and since no man is in essence above the other, what is valued to you for x reasons can be absolutely worthless to me, since I have no association with it and therefore it’s greatness is completely subjective and cannot be considered true greatness. However when something is divine, when it comes from a Higher power, a power that created the reality of humans and humans themselves, greatness is not relative to each person, since it’s coming from the Being that defines them. So to finalize, a non Divine Torah, looses all greatness and authority since they’re both subjective to the receptor.

    Brings to mind a statement from Rav Eliyahu Dessler, giant in Torah philosophy: (on בחירה)
    Making decisions can be complicated or clear cut. Very often, if you are stuck and unable to commit to a decision, and can't get past the thought that both sides have their pros, it's often a result of the inability to accept which way is definitely no good for you. In short, he said, You can't decide, not because you DON'T know which way is right, but because you DO KNOW...and you don't really "want" to go that way.

    Rightly said, you never know whether the decision made is right or wrong. It is important to make a decision. And then leave it to the divine...
