Bad people
RIP Phil Lesh 😢
Wonderful. Thank you for a beautiful message.
I am Italian and I love the Jewish people and I support Israel.
I didn’t know that was the last song they played together. Very appropriate.
The Grateful Dead probably did know this when choosing the name. Their songwriting is full of religious symbolism and storytelling. They chose certain symbols that had an important Judaic representation to them (not the dancing bears, you will find them quickly if you really look). As their lyrics say, "Once and awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right". Rest in Peace, Phillip, so glad I got to see you so many times I would not be the person I am today without you and the Grateful Dead.
Theres also a very important virtue in the torah called Novol brshus hatora ,go study it carefully
This explanation of "grateful dead" is inaccurate; it's not the same as the idea of "Meit Mitzvah" in Jewish law, which is a person who dies somewhere with no one to attend to his/her burial & it's a special act of kindness for anyone who assumes the responsibility. The legend of "grateful dead", which originated in the UK, had to do with the soul of a deceased person that couldn't find rest, some unresolved business obstructing it from "letting go" to the next world, & those who understood this through whatever sort of telepathic means or through dreams would gather by the grave site & sing a ballad intended to soothe & release the restless soul, & either the ballad &/or the departed soul was called a "grateful dead". In Jewish tradition this would be related to the idea that for the first 30 days after burial, the soul of the departed 'hovers' near the gravesite where its former body is buried, not yet fully 'comfortable' with the separation, & recitation of certain prayers & psalms can possibly ease the transition for them. But the first name of the band was The Warlocks, which in the case of actual occult practitioners, Torah law forbids a Jewish person to be one or to consult one.
Just found out may you rest in peace Phil Lesh God guide and keep you in the great sleep. Until the trumpets sound fare thee well.🎺☮️
Searching for the secret ,searching for the sound-all I hear is the rabbi and the baying of his hounds
Thanks, Rabbi, me too with the tears. I was raised Catholic, and got out. No religion for me. Married a Jewish woman and have four Jewish children all grown up and excellent citizens. Thanks for bringing the good hearted Phil into your words; Box of Rain is a real tear jerker, goodness knows. They would not have, could not have, been the band they were without Phil, thanks (yes, thanks!🙂) for singing such wonderful and meaningful words to your congregants. The world needs more-keep singing.
thank you rabbi. love this. NFA!!
shalom mot…gratitude rebbe…❤️ rip phil… long strange trip indeed… bassicness.
Thank you! I needed this teaching. A lot.
Thank you, Rabbi
A Rabbi does not use a microphone on YomTov either- unless he decides he is allowed to make up his own rules. Then he is still a Jew, one who sins, but is not a Rabbi. We pray he repents.
Lol. That’s the achdut spirit! ❤
Praying for another Jew is the epitome of Achdut
Wonderful Rabbi. Learned and explains complicated concepts so us ordinary congregants can understand ….. Irwin and Aurora.
Shalom! May I please suggest to those who are unfamiliar with Mr. Philip Lesh, to listen to ‘Ripple’, & ‘Weather Report Suite’. The lyrics written by Mr. Robert Hunter, & Mr. John Barlow are my sacred music & my guide to daily living. Peace, Love & Music to all who read this.
Shabbat SHALOM EVERYONE,grew up with the dead since I was 12, 15, and this Box of rain is for my friend and his electric smile........I am 66 now and my phone keeps on making us all smile...🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎 Reach out and show Sume kindness today......for Phil, and for all of us ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Garcia is Elijah, John the Baptist, also Herman Melville, same birthday 123 years apart. Not a Yid this time, and it goes without saying there never was a Yid equal to Garcia.
Jesus?
Thank you so very much Rabbi. Sitting here with tears in my eyes
A single piece of joy is a justification for the dark hell that is existence on this forsaken POS rock. Well the POS self proclaimed "GOD" can with my blessing fall into a black hole. How many Hundreds of years did it make its people serve as SLAVES? This Tormentor self proclaimed god of the Hebrews isn't worth the energy I take to wipe my ass! The true Creator is Love!!! The fucker who convinced Moses that it was the source of all LIED. Chosen people my Ass! And you fuckers who hide the truth about our power and abilities, please by all means, bask in your misogynist privilege. Those who understand will move on leaving your Babylonian Arab influenced bullshit behind and connect to the true Creator, not this wanna be sociopath narcissist "I am, that I am". What better way to torment and habitually torture the "Chosen People" by keeping them in the dark for thousands of years. Oh you want the truth ?.... only if you're over 40, male and successful in this commercial hell that you support without question. The worst of all is that no matter how deeply I come to know the Devine Creator and Divine Mother, I will still be identified as a jew, by others who simply hate. Fortunately as a direct descendant of the artistic son of the Rav of Brisk, I have the hidden and freeing knowledge of what you call Kabbalah in my DNA and have held distain for your entitled priesthood from the moment I was reprimanded for asking why the first mention of Elohim is plural, male and female. It's all BULLSHIT and now that you've been made aware I look forward to attending your life review and the hell that your next incarnation will entail. Be satisfied with scatterings and rations of love and joy. Not me. Go to the next Dead & Company concert and just enjoy the Vibe. Take some Shrooms to connect with the mycological ether network and experience the joy that is The Creator. Then meditate with that frequency and truly experience The Creator, be forgiven for the shit you're preaching and move on from this low vibration ring of hell. This yad hay vav hay you worship is no better than Donald Trump with a narcissistic comprehension of what Christ cautiousness is. A self Righteous adolescent that demands absolute worship and giving nothing in return. Wake up and free yourself and those poor idiots who have placed their trust in you. Maybe honour Phil by playing a recording of Box of Rain rather than stroking your own ego while singing off key. That's a little unfair, Smile when you sing, that will keep you in key. I'm sorry you're hurting, All Dead Heads are.But I've given you the opportunity of many lifetimes. Or you can dismiss this and rack up even more negative karma. Like I said, I will be there for your life review and would be honoured to trash the avenging angels case against you, should you heed this advice. Once You have felt the absolute love of the Creator, gently lead those towards it, for you can lead a person to knowledge, but with the right message you CAN make them think. May Inspiration move you brightly.
And to think, I was expecting a sermon on Phil's honoring of Cody and on the tie in between Meit Mitzvah and Pikuach Nefesh through the form and importance of organ donation. Incredible sermon, Rav Aaron.
My Deadhead, Canadian, Jewish friend linked this to his channel. Music knows no boundaries. תודה על היותך אתה ומי ייתן וברכות רבות יהיו על הגרייטפול דד. למי שלא יודע, אנא חפשו בגוגל את משל הגרייטפול דד. רבים חושבים שזה דבר "נורא", אבל זה לא. מדובר בטוב לב ובלידה מחדש. לכל אחיי ואחיותיי.
יישר כחך
Toda Raba Rabbi!
Beautiful! Can you post (on TH-cam) the Hebrew blessings and then the Torah readings each week? I have such a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes thinking about hearing it all. It has been so long since my Bat Mitzvah (B’not because it was with my sister). I truly miss my religion.😢❤
SO glad to have found you! Someone posted your sermon on TikTok and I was desperate to find such a wonderful Rabbi! I hope your Shabbat services are online for those of us who are looking for them. Thank you so much!
Please share link to sermon. Ty

The most beautiful approach I’ve ever heard.
I love the singer's voice!
Thanks for your Gad- Ruven - Moses presentation. I am impressed by this “story”. love it. I am following the Jesus story. But there is enough Jewish blood in me through my dad’s side - his mother… to draw me nearer like a magnet. Plus Jesus was a Jew, so Moses and Gad-Ruven is up my alley too. Drawing near? Moses misunderstands…? I bet that Gad and Ruven were not the first. In order to read into any approach with a bias that leads to misunderstanding, most likely Moses may have had perhaps an argument with Aaron or someone else just moments before Gad and Ruven approached him. Expectations come from experience. What do you think?
Stories guy, they're just stories. And who cares besides you? STORIES
I care too. maybe deep down you want the stories be describing true events that really happened. I am personally into the Jesus “story”, but he was a Jew, and while my mother is not, my dad’s mother comes from the people I just feel compelled to draw near. A friend of mine is an atheist- he too says “all stories”. We are having fun over it. I will be able to gloat after finding out there is life after death, or not. While of course if he is right, I won’t know he gloated- well, nobody will be gloating. So the moral of my story, whether story or real event, for sure it’s a nice story at the very least. But that said, I know the pain that causes the comment of “Stories guy”. just wanted to add my senf with love.
