Those Rabbanim Jacobson brothers are so resourceful, so generous, and endlessly explaining all of us our intimate but also fantastic reality! Thank you for this dialogue.
I just so loved the concept of pslam 23, Lord is my shepherd. I think that's just the gist of it all, HaShem wants to guide us thorough our daily lives like a shepherd. Just like the sheep can't see the shepherd but the shepherd guides all his sheep from behind their eyes with his voice, we are to trust that inner voice of HaShem and move in the direction the shepherd guides us. May we all have the serenity so we hear that inner voice of our shepherd and move into directions given to us by HaShem and reach at a place we are needed and appreciated and it all should feel like a miracle.
You Rabbi are the true Messenger of HaShem, blessed is He! Your explanation of the identity of what everyone call "G-d" is the perfect definition, at least for me. I remember a video I watch of the Reve, where he states that a Jewish person is born Jewish. When I heard his words in that video that's when I realized that I was born Jewish, had been Jewish, indefinitely, although I was born in a Sephardic family who never told me so, been from Spain, Castilla la Vieja, from my mom side, and my dad part French Jewish descend and never knowing anything about Judaism back then, or Hebrew for that matter, but our CREATOR, SAVIOR and REDEEMER, knew who I was and revealed that to me so many years back and it took 50 years to come to terms that I didn't belong to the world I was living in. Now I feel fulfilled and know who I am and WHO my GOD is. Thank you Rabbi for this information, HaShem, blessed is He bless you and keep you and your family and give good health, thanks to HaShem, you are not silenced anymore or any of our Sages, because our CREATOR, is giving you and our Sages to bring the message of unity and love, our enemies might continue to try to silence our Sages, but this time they are the ones who will be silenced and then the Mashiach will come. May our Sages keep teaching Torah and bringing knowledge of HaShem to the nations as it was supposed to be. I don't know if I will see the waters open up again for the return of our people to the promised land, because I am 73 years old today, but if I leave before, I will be satisfied to have been able to see, hear our people make aliyah to our promised land.

IMO, the reason why people suffer more from anxiety nowadays more than our grandparents did despite living a better quality of life is due to our relatively easy life. Here is why. Mental toughness is required in the same way as physical strength. That is that the human body is very efficient at adapting to stress. In strength training, the body gets stronger by adapting to the stress brought on by lifting heavy weights making the body stronger. In mental health, the principles are the same. The psyche would adapt to accumulated stress if the psyche is stressed adequacy. However, since our lives are so easy, most of us have never witnessed war firsthand orgone to sleep hungry as a child. We never got the stress required to take us out of our homeostasis, leaving us weak and vulnerable mentaly. Therefore, a stressful event is very traumatizing. It's the equivalent of an untrained lifter trying to squat 700 lbs. The weight will break his bones as opposed to making him stronger.
I have thought of something similar before, but then...we are basically justifying chaos and war. No one stands at a gym and turns people away saying they should go join a street gang instead. And while it is true that humans adapt and thrive, these elements of starvation and rape and cruelty bring trauma! How can we say that bringing trauma helps us avoid becoming traumatized? Or that experiencing anxiety helps make us less neurotic? Especially since we know that humans react differently to those same experiences and from the get-go. One person may suffer no symptoms of trauma when another may become catatonic even from similar experiences at a similar age. Instead maybe this increased anxiety isn't a result of too much comfort but comfort as a replacement for connection. And of being told even when our soul cries for more gravity in life that comfort is all that matters. Of being told the lie that conformity to idealized generic "equality" is righteous. That we have no purpose other than to adopt a certain creed, a certain political bent, and to waste talent or to avoid having a family in favor of some nebulous goal of "saving the planet.". Extremely abstract and impersonal campaigns are no substitute for living our own adventure and taking responsibility for a family. And I don't think chaos and general suffering are any real substitutes for it either!
Rabbi YY, thank you so very much for being a true שליח of Hashem. It's beyond refreshing! I have two questions: 1. The interview didn't actually discuss 'Who Is God'. I was kind of getting excited... :) Did I miss something? 2. '...because children choose being happy over being right' - the thing is, they're too young to consciously choose to be happy, or too young to choose to hold a grudge. Where does that fit in?
First you have to truly believe there's a Creator and that our purpose in life is to have dveikus with him. We feel G.d through our soul, not our intellect.
In some ways this question applies to human relationships as well. So much of our relationships are understood through language. And this can cause us to confuse our personal exchanges with being the actual definition of a person and a relationship. When I had a son with severe apraxia, I realized that I was blessed in some way...because so often what we speak to our children doesn't match our actions. Here at least there was no room for mixed messages. Whether I failed terribly or did well in my attitude or behavior, I would have no way to pretend my religious rhetoric would cover for or add something to that message. Only one message would get across...my actual life. Or so I thought. In actuality, even that was not entirely dependent on my choices either, because every individual around us has the opportunity to interpret our choices in any way they like, regardless of whether it seems fair or not. And our children can have a very different temperament than ourselves! Even among my siblings, there is a very different woman we remember as our mother. But then I began to think about how an infant connects to her mother without being able to even imagine "who" a mother is nor this one in particular. So without formal conceptualization or even language or similar temperament, we establish connection. That connection never protects us from hurt or disappointment or tragedy or later estrangement. It doesn't make us or anyone else perfect. It doesn't give us all the answers in dark times. And for some, those dark times begin before birth!!! But it is still as real as anything. It is THE reality... connection we cannot escape even if we were an airborne molecule of spittle! Everything is connected and yet we have freedom to move about! Can we even begin to understand that?! Maybe not. But this is why our connection to God never relies on our spoken communication with god or even our intellectual ability/disability, and yet why we still get the chance to interact responsively. There are moments when we see a glimpse of this, and it is a moment of awe. Like a sunset or soft kitten or even the tears of our loved one who is dying. And we can acknowledge such moments...either through private reflection or a silence or even structured liturgy. No, the words don't bridge a communication gap. Our minds don't "know" god like a set of principles, and neither do our traditions and conversations with loved ones even over years ever tell us all of who they are. Still we feel awe! Painful awe, sometimes. But still. And that can propel us to act with courage and appreciation despite the fact that nothing we say or do can erase this mystery.
if we were created in the image of God, surrounded by his love, then how to explain the birth of people who became cruel criminals and murderers? Where is divine love here?
Who is God? Wrong question, but right question is who will be God? God mean everything by him our earh and sky,oceans trees,and we created by God Yahweh.u know now days and past days only people's finding so many things and creating so many things, who is first man and women on earh from where they came any one answer me

How much of religious life is "spiritual gene" editing? How much is accepting the challenge we already have to work with?

Is G.od perfect or everything?
What is your opinion on god
🤔
How can I connect to God if I never meet him or spok to him?
First you have to truly believe there's a Creator and that our purpose in life is to have dveikus with him. We feel G.d through our soul, not our intellect.
yeah + you pray and thank god every single day
Do you connect with your breath every moment? You dont even think about it...but it keeps you alive? Air, oxygen you connect with it, you see it..?
In some ways this question applies to human relationships as well. So much of our relationships are understood through language. And this can cause us to confuse our personal exchanges with being the actual definition of a person and a relationship.

Free choice...dont blame G-d
There is no divine love without free choice!
