The secular Jews who heard Rabbi Jacobson left feeling secure in the fact that they don’t have to change a thing of what they do, believe, not believe…whatever. And not only that, but that they’re superior to the Orthodox Jews according to the Rabbi. Does this help or hurt them in the long run? Or does this become an argument they can use in the future when anyone encourages them to do mitzvot?
From personal experience a lot of times what keeps secular jews secular is a mixture of hatred and guilt Guilt for not being observant enough in the ways that deep inside.They want to be but find challenging to do so and hatred for the people who achieve it and likely judge them in the same breath Most were the docks choose.Don't judge, but there are those who do and those who do push awayEven further the ones who are ready are pushed away So by finding a way to strip away that guilt and that hatred a secular jew might feel more comfortable of taking on more mitzvot, instead of hearing the perpetual self loathing and guilt inside their heads from past or present judgment they have heard about themselves
You are right on, my concern also. It's not easy to change one's behavior many times you have to get uncomfortable in order to do so, by putting them at ease, I think it's unlikely they will feel any urgency to change
If there is anything this story tells me, it's that everyone is on their own path, and I can't imagine the greatness within. So what's wrong with each person figuring it out for themselves, while feeling comfortable in their own skin?
It is not a contest. Rebbe Nachman also speaks of the virtues of a simple, unlearned Jew. It's about humility and pure belief that Hashem is in charge. No frills, just pure truth
@@John316TOGODBETHEGLORY Christianity is the epitome of "following your own desires". Instead of following what the Torah actually commands, they decide for themselves what to keep and make up new laws and ideas. Violating the worst sins because of the emotional and spiritual lust of idolatry.
@@Eli-y3y1b OK BOT THAT WANTS TO PIT JEWS AGAINST CHRISTIANS PUT THIS IN YOUR FILES. I'm sure you are talking about Catholics and all other religions that make up their own rules. IM SURE ITS THE NOAHIDE LAW THAT WAS GIVEN TO THEIR FATHERS.👇👇👇 Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” We are under the new covenant 👇👇👇👇 Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace. SAVING GRACE BY FAITH NOT LAW 👇👇👇👇👇 John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
We will have to wait for Mashiach to answer this question. Baruch HaShem, that will be SOOOOOOOOOOON. ... But I am sad that none of the 4 rabbis (including R. Gold) said anything about Torah, Tefillah, Mitzvot, or Teshuva. These are the basic first rungs on the ladder of spirituality. You can't climb higher if you're not aware of the ladder, or stepping onto it. Baruch HaShem, I became Baalit Teshuva 4 years ago, at the age of 61. What took me so long? I'm SO glad you asked! I spent those 61 years as a non-frum Jew. Despite all the hundreds of times I attended Shabbat and Chag services, all the classes I took, all the attention to keeping a kosher home, lighting Shabbat candles for decades, making Shabbat dinners for family and friends for decades, sending my children to Mod. Orthodox day school, I DID NOT KNOW that only Orthodox Judaism is Torah-true. I did not know that NO ONE has the authority to change Torah laws: no one has the right to say, "Go ahead, turns lights on and off on Shabbat if you want to." I thought that frum Jews were old-fashioned and stuck in the past. Once I learned the immutability of Torah, I HAD to move forward and climb higher. First step: I started to dress differently (modestly), as a sign of respect for HaShem and the body he gifted to me. It still boggles my mind when I attend Zoom classes and see students partially dressed!) There are TOO many Jews in the world today who don't know what Torah really is, or the basics of Jewish life, chas v'Shalom. They think that their lives will be "burdened" by their responsibilities to Torah life. They're happy in their current situation, believing that HaShem will forgive them for their ignorance and lack of interest in Him and His Torah, for not being curious about His gift. They don't know that what makes a Jew unique is acceptance and welcome of HaShem's gift of Torah. He brought us out of Mitzrayim to be OUR GD, to entrust us with His Torah. They also do not know that we, in the year 5784, are on the cusp of Geulah. (I only learned about galut and Geula 4 years ago.) My spiritual life is SO different now! I say brachot, daven, and learn every day. I have learned quite a bit about Kabbalah, which deepens my understanding and increases my bitachon. (Just because I can't see oxygen doesn't mean it's not in the air I breathe, at the perfect ratio to the other gases in air; nor that it's crucial to breathing.) I'm also more aware of open miracles ... like the Iron Dome. (That's a particular favorite of mine, as HaShem's 4-letter name = 26 in Gematria, and Iron (Fe) has the atomic weight of 26. No coincidences!) ... Too many of our brothers and sisters are like the prince in Rebbe Nachman of Breslov's tale "The Turkey Prince," are living UNDER the table, undressed, using animal language, eating scraps, and letting a flimsy veil (in the story, it's a tablecloth) hide the gloriously royal world that they could and should be living in. Like in the story, they are waiting for a wise man to have the courage to meet them and teach them. We need to let non-Torah Jews in on the "secret." They have been intentionally uninformed and are thirsty to drink the mayim chayim of Torah. Who is teaching them the Truth? I think the non-frum rabbis need to be re-educated and teach their congregations the Truth. Middah keneged Middah. May HaShem Yirachem guide us! And may we experience Geulah SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
great video Reb Yoel. love how this video allows room for all and inspires us all to get closer to Hashem. it embraces how the middos we learn as Torah living Jews shine bright. Rabbi Jacobson's composure is a result of his connection to Torah, mitzvos, Chabad and The Rebbe. your ability to choose this video and message this as one to share is due to your beautiful heart and commitment to Torah. keep going brother. an inspiration for all.
I figure God’s sense of justice is better than ours. He probably cares more about our hearts than our religious affiliations. He’s also merciful. We can trust Him to do the right thing. He knows us well. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to make that effort. He wants our love, and we certainly need His.
Not allowed to sin while planning on doing teshuva for it later, that is essentially what a person is doing by counting preemptively on hashems mercy in lieu of improving their own behavior
If you rely on improving your own behavior in order to be right standing before God, you are wrong. All our human made righteousness amounts to “filthy rags” before God (read Isaiah chapter 64 and 65). Yes we need to strive to be pleasing to God, first and foremost by looking upon the One who was lifted up like Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. Believe in Him and you will be saved!
@@paullup6390 No, I’ve given up on trying to improve my own behavior, and yet my behavior is markedly improved. Good behavior is commendable, and it’s best achieved by surrendering to God’s will and let him do the changing. Still, the being-good part is not what justifies us in God’s eyes, it’s the eventual consequence of our acceptance of his grace, His unmerited favor. It’s through faith that we accept God’s grace, sufficient faith that we allow ourselves to surrender to His will. The good behavior is just the evidence that we have decided to stop relying on ourselves and put our faith in Him. I agree with you entirely. God doesn’t want us to go it alone. He’s unimpressed with our own do-gooding. He wants us to simply reach out and humbly accept his free grace. We will go about our lives gratefully doing all we can to be good, but the real good we do is because of Him.
B’H he revealed to us we were Jewish, before dna 🧬 test, but why our families went secular…. ?? All because of the anti semitism from xtians in America…. 🤬😡…. I wear my yellow star proudly. They will not take it away from me now, I finally know why I am so different and I’m proud Am Yisrael Chai …. But we do not have shul, nor community near us, 😢, we are observant alone.
The nations will hate us if we try to be like them and they will hate us if we live by the Torah. Isn't the choice obvious? I'm sorry you don't live in a community that supports your true growth in Judiasm. I knew numerous couples in that circumstance. Their growth in Torah and community support had them pack up and move to the observant Jewish community. So now they have Jewish schools, shuls, mikvot, grocery stores, Jewish book stores, modest clothing stores, and all the bracha from having frum neighbors.
Only 1/5th of the Jews in Egypt left. That is the simple straightforward pshat, the others died in the plague of darkness (Rashi). Now, after having received the Torah on Mount Sinai, can we imagine that our responsibility is any less than theirs was? Now, with Torah learning opportunities on so many channels, is our responsibilty to follow Hashem lessened? No, our responsibility is greater! The rabbi made the crowd feel good about themselves. But was this truly the right thing to say? They need to keep Shabbos, avoid sin and do mitzvot.
You're only partly correct. After Mount Sinai there's no such thing as a truly disconnected jew.. your responsibility to them is even greater.. if they still are not aware it's on your shoulders as much as theirs look in the mirror where the responsibility Lays... some people simply have never been educated as strange as that may sound to you... but that's the fact... the fact that you know about Heavenly stuff means your responsibility is greater not theirs
And the biggest part of the matzah it's not by the mitzvas on the table the whole night of the Seder.... the biggest portion of the Jews are not connected openly to the mitzvas.... But the Seder cannot be complete until the biggest portion is brought back to the mitzvas at the table... Then is the geulah... You have lots of work to do
@sereneaspirations7019 I hear you, but my problem is that I think the net result of Rabbi Jacobson's feel-good and telegenic message is that they will not be spurred on to make positive change to improve their souls, their middot, their attachment to Hashem vis-avis the mitzvot. Change does not come by being put at ease... no dentist worth his or her degree ever told their patient, "so you don't floss, it's alright, you are a valuable person with or without your molars!"
@@TheMikew79 😅 I'm already doing the work. I've been blessed to put Tefilin & have Shabbos guests in the last 6 weeks with Jewish people who have never had an experience of authentic Judaism upwards of even 70 years old... so join me and together we will all make the Divine reality ❤
Happy Pesach. Every soul is precious. I believe that Hashem sends us messages. Challenges help us grow. We can use our challenges to learn and grow closer to each other and to Hashem.May peace come soon.
Thank you for your efforts, Yoel. While I typically appreciate your videos, I must express my disappointment with the latest one. The Rabbi missed an opportunity to emphasize the importance of Teshuva and adherence to Torah, as elucidated by Maimonides, who writes that Hashem rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. Rather than suggesting that religious jews will be "walking behind" someone that is a poshute jew (implying the secular ones) when Mashiach comes, the Rabbi should have conveyed the truth that every Jew requires Teshuva and observance of the Torah. It appears that some Chabad rabbis have adopted more liberal and politically correct stances. A "poshute Jew," in essence, embodies the concept of a simple, devout individual-a Jewish plumber who faithfully observes the Torah and raises a family, rather than a scholarly luminary. The Rabbi should have proclaimed, "Hashem is infinitely merciful, allowing repentance even moments before death." One need only look to the example of King Menashe, who committed grave sins, including the murder of his own grandfather, the prophet Yeshaya. Yet, through Teshuva, he merited Olam Haba. Thus, attending the Rabbi's lecture presents an opportunity granted by Hashem to draw nearer through Torah observance and Mitsvot. While Hashem promises retribution for the Reshaim, those ignorant of the truth require guidance, not neglect. Rabbi Jacobson's oversight in this regard may not be applauded on Yom Hadin. I encourage reading "Divine Madness" by Rabbi Avigdor Miller ZTL, who resided in Slabodka from 1933 to 1939. This work presents evidence suggesting that the Holocaust was a consequence of our sins. To suggest randomness in the worst tragedy of Jewish history is tantamount to heresy. As taught, not a leaf stirs without Hashem's will. Therefore, the slaughter of one-third of His people surely bears significance as punishment. While we may never fully comprehend Hashem's calculations, the Torah unequivocally underscores the imperative of righteousness, with severe consequences for transgression-illustrated in the sins of the spies, the incident with the Midianite women, the sin of the golden calf, and numerous others.
Excellent comment. You’re right. He should have said we all have to do tshuva. He missed a chance, and the “Orthodox “ rabbi said basically the same thing he said. חבל that he didn’t give people more of a chance.
I'm chabad... The more I just talk about life and laugh and experienced real challenges with my less religious friends, the more they choose Judaism on their own.. It's because of comments like the rabbi said, that globally there are more Jewish children in chabad schools.. And chabad has FAR MORE jews globally at the pesach seder ( who come on their own).. Etc
Read up on the dinim of tochacha. Very clearly the audience was not going to listen to harsh messaging. They had already booed the one rabbi. Rabbi YYs message is far more likely to mekarev those yidden to Torah than blasting them with hell and brimstone. Anyway, have you forgotten yishayahu? We know the "אבדים בארץ אשור" are coming back with us. No one left behind this time. Geula from mitzriam was a template but this coming geula will be different as spelled out by our prophets. Also how dare you guess at the Holocaust meaning? Since when are you privy to the meaning of all the Abishter's activities?
@@Didleeios88 you definitely have a point. I just thought it would have been nice to say, “We ALL have to improve.” Which is true. Also, we don’t know exactly the “why” of the Holocaust, but Rav Avigdor Miller writes about it. There was one person I read about who was in the Kovno ghetto. He said, “ I didn’t see Germans, I saw Pesukim.” (verses from the curses in Chumash, I assume he meant).
it's a nice story, and it might make the secular ones feel good in the moment...I'm sure it made the crowd pleased. but if it was your child, would you want them to feel more comfortable pushing the commandments of Hashem aside? Or would you want them to complete every last mitzvah they could with focus and dedication?
Of course you want your children to go in the ways of Torah, but parents have to accept their adult children migjt make different choices.Do u stop loving them? Stop praying for them?NO.Neit her does Hashem. He gave us free will.
You will get them to keep more mitzvos with love than with the opposite. First they need to understand their intrinsic worth - that they are precious to Hashem like diamonds - and then they will strive to be closer to Him.
😅 with all the mistakes that you make nevertheless God still spends every breath with you... none of us are perfect or even close and God keeps giving us love and care. Learn from God how to treat people and keep giving to them and not be so judgmental
When Moshiach shows and awakens the true value, i.e. the soul, of every Jew they will ALL decide to do Torah and mitzvot. In fact that is the ONLY true motivation for doing them. As the Zohar writes: Moshiach will make the Tzadikim do tshuva.
Moshiakh is not coming anytime soon. He hasn't for over 2,000 years. An no amount of chabad propaganda will ever change that. I like chabad, btw. Secular Jews are and will be just fine.
Jesus fulfilled the Law so we don’t have to. Yeshua fulfilled the Old Testament and fulfilled what we Christians call the New Testament. in one try. because He is God. we all have sin and all need a savior. i encourage you to read the New Testament and see how similar and smooth it is with the Old Testament. it’s written and inspired by the SAME GOD. Jesus came, died for our sins, rose from the dead and set us free from eternal damnation. all you must do is believe. and then receive the Holy Spirit of God to cleanse you and lead you. you can have an everyday relationship with Jehovah! everyday. all the time He is with you and shows you your path. trust in Yeshua and His sacrifice will atone for your sins. He was, is, and always will be the perfect Lamb. He is our savior. it’s just whether or not you believe. read the NT and with curiosity ask God to lead you. and if you trust in Him, then He should reveal yes?…
”I answered, “Lord and master, the common things are cheap; it is the rare things that are valuable.” “All right,” he replied, “so draw the logical conclusion: the person who has what is scarce has more reason to be pleased than the person who has what is plentiful.“ 2 Esdras 7:58-59
@retroelectrical *Really?* ▪︎The Messiah was to bring peace, where is the peace for 2000 years? ▪︎The Messiah was to be from the tribe of Judah, tribe is Only passed father to son, if a person has no human father, they have No tribe. ▪︎The Messiah was to be a direct descendant of both King David and King Solomon. By the genealogy In the No Testament, Jesus's two genealogies show he descends from Nathan, Solomon's brother, not Solomon. The other genealogy shows descent through King Jeconiah, who was said to never have a descendant sit on the throne of David. *So where was this Messiah? Who was this Messiah?*
Messiah was of the firstborn, Joseph, through Ephraim and David, never Judah. Messiah did bring peace, and ESAU slaughtered Him because he is still waiting for his "moshiach", the man of sin. (2Thess 2)
@psalm2764 Joseph, who? Jesus wasn't the son of Joseph, remember? The father of Jesus was named as Elohim, wasn't he? The curse of Jeconiah applies to Joseph and his descendants. None of Joseph's descendants can ever attain the throne of Israel.
The true question is what happens when you already missed the true messiah, killed him shouting " his blood on our children", and still curse him in your prayers? If you pray the father while you kill and curse the Son, what will the Father do to you?
@@sandrashechter2180 thé messiah awaited by Israël is thé anti messiah. Hé is coming to wage War, His hands will bé full of blood. Thé true messiah is Jésus, hé never killed anyone. If you read thé prophecies of Daniel, you will see that Daniel wrote that thé messiah had to Come before thé destruction of thé second temple. But thé rabbis hide and curse this prophecy as well as many other scriptures from thé prophets of Ashem, as well as Jésus himself. The rabbis want to keep thé vineyard for themselves, that is why they do not give fruits to thé Landlord, thé creator. Thé vineyard belongs to Ashem, not to religious leaders.
What a great story, not only did you throw the Torah in the garbage but you made hundreds of secular Jews doomed to Gehinom. Hashem says clearly if you violate His laws you will be cut off from the nation and suffer eternal punishment. At least you can say you're one of the many Rabbi's that Hashem says will be in the end times leading people astray.
Wow. When Moshiach comes, that will be the _beginning_ of the journey, not the end. Everyone will want to know more, to be more, to grow closer. Orthodox or affiliated or unaffiliated, we'll all embark on a journey. - Think about what happened in Egypt. When Moses returned to redeem them, was that the end of the story?
Rabbi jacobson might be a good speaker, but he is definitely one liberal rabbi..why not say the truth? Why you so scared ? Hashem is definitely waiting for tshuva, repentance, and yes, we all need to hear it..whether we like it or not...Hashem is waiting with His love and patience. We need to use our senses and do the right things..we got the Torah, our guideline to help us .
You have to have a relationship with someone before they care about your opinion. Gevurah will only alienate them more. I would bet money many of the people in the audience came back to Rabbi Jacobson with more questions. I have heard R'Yitzchak Breitowitz say very similar things to secular Jews. No one considers him liberal.
In this story my take away was not that all is ok and if you're secular keep doing what you are doing. I think Rabbi Jacobson is working on the assumption that everyone is or should be growing and struggling. Where they are on the ladder vs. where they should be is Hashem's determination. And it is. Even with the middah k'neged middah idea related to the Holocaust- Tzaddikim and innocent children were tortured and slaughtered and secular Jews were saved, so obviously G-d's judgment is on a different plane than our human one. I suggest reading Michtav Me'Eliyahu from Rabbi Eliyahiu Dessler (Strive for Truth in English). He has a whole discource on bechirah (free will) where he discuss the concept Rabbi Jacobson speaks of (in a Litvishe, non-Chasidic context...)
First observation: Because a knowledge of the creator was conveyed to the human race through the Hebrew patriarchs, it is easier for Hebrews than for non-Hebrews to understand the backstory conveyed through the Hebrew prophets. How did Jacob become Israel? Read the story. A person doesn't need to be affilited with a religious organization to have a spiritual experience similar to that of Jacob. It is those who have such an experience with the creator who will survive the glorious apearing of Messiah. Second observation: Moses wrote, "Then the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the beath of life; and man became a living soul." To the Hebrew prophets of antiquity, a human was a unit comprised of the union of the body and the breath of life. Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi lived before Plato wrote about the philosophy known as dualism - that we are spiritual entities entraped in moral bodies. Some of the Hebrews of antiquity believed in a future resurrection and some did not but a careful analysis of the words used in the Hebrew Bible shows that the people who wrote its various parts were not influenced by Greek philosophy.
I agree except nowadays if you aren't affiliated thats your choice. If u really want to be apart of our people and act as jewish as possible w/in your current situation, u would find a way. If not, youre basically a gentile. So yes i agree w/the orthodox rabbi the most and i was raised conservative
Which is why we are going through gog umagog now. Everyone will do teshuva there won't be "unaffiliated" it's a moot point When such fear is put in you - like the fear of Oct 7 - you're going to scream out for G-d to help you and you will promise to keep shabbat or dress modestly if G-d saves you. There will be no one in the world who is unaffiliated at that point. But I would highly recommend getting on a plane asap to Israel because the chance of survival and being in the remaining 1/3 is much greater over here than in chutz laaretz
Pirke Avot The Wisdom of the Sages All Israel have a share in the World To Come, as it is stated (Isaiah 60:21): 'And Your people are tzadikkim (righteous).' They shall inherit the land forever. They are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take pride. (Sanhedrin 90a) כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵשׁ לָהֶם חֵֽלֶק לְעוֹלָם הַבָּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְעַמֵּךְ כֻּלָּם צַדִּיקִים, לְעוֹלָם יִֽירְשׁוּ אָֽרֶץ, נֵֽצֶר מַטָּעַי מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי לְהִתְפָּאֵר.
Shockingly similar to what Yeshua said: Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ So the last will be first, and the first last.”
Shalom. Soul dealer. Who knows a human soul better, than ELOHIM ? U are worried only about the unaffiliated jews, but to Heavenly Father all souls jew n goyim are precious in HIS sight for ALL are the works of HIS HANDS. So HE sents HIS Messiah ( just like HE sent Moshe...........) to save as many as will recieve HIM. Before ELOHIM will sent Him, again as KING to rule, n HE will cast out all who will not receive Him, n their blood will be on their own head, because they have rejected ELOHIM's ANOINTED Saviour through whom HE chose to save them from death n to give eternal life.
I'm with Rabbi Jacobsen on this. Who are any of us to judge another person? You want to virtue signal and compete as to who is the frummer Jew, well good for you. Some of those simple Jews that you think nothing of are out there making changes in the very fabric of existence with their quiet good deeds and you would never know. Please lets each of us be responsible for our own level of attachment to Gd, and let other people be responsible for theirs. If someone wants to grow in their practical Torah observance that's a beautiful thing and we can help if we're invited. Let's just stop judging a book by its cover. You never know what's inside another person. One of the biggest problems I see with some factions of Orthodoxy is that it's all about external appearances, but when you crack the shell, there's nothing inside. I've met plenty of Orthodox people who go through all the right motions but don’t actually believe in or have a relationship with Gd in any way. Give me the simple Jew over the pretenders any day xxx
This issue has nothing to do with other Orthodox people, whether or not they do the right thing, or of how people judge a person. If a person is born of a Jewish mother, going back matrilineally to either the children of our spiritual forefather Jacob, or to a Kosher female convert; this is a sign that this person's soul was at Mount Sinai about 3300 years ago, accepting the Torah at the same time as the live people, even before this person's soul was born into a live body. This person is a Jew, which means that this person's job description is to learn and practice Torah and Mitzvos, irrespective of what other people do or don't do, or of how other people judge this person. If this person does NOT repent and start practicing Torah and Mitzvos before this person dies; then based on the judgement of G-d, NOT on the judgement of other people; this person will have a very warm afterlife and will NOT have a share in the World To Come. Quiet good deeds will NOT save a Jew who desecrates Shabbos and eats non-Kosher food. ALL of the Mitzvos which apply to this person MUST be observed; both those between a person and G-d, and those between a person and another person. Judaism is NOT A La Carte, where you get to pick only what you like. The "Poshute Yid" (simple Jew) mentioned in the video was not necessarily a Torah scholar; but he kept Torah and Mitzvos. For example, he observed Shabbos and the Holidays and ate Kosher food. He was NOT secular. Being a SIMPLE Jew and being a SECULAR Jew are not the same. Jacobson had a chance to help these secular Jews repent. Instead, he told them what they WANTED to hear; not what they NEEDED to hear. He has killed them spiritually. As long as a person is alive, that person can repent. Once that person dies, there's no more chance to repent. There's only judgement by G-d, as to how well that person kept Torah and Mitzvos while that person was alive.

JESUS IS THE ANSWER John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. Romans 10:9-11: "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved". Acts 16:31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved". John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me".
Yes. Amen. His disciples were gathered supernaturally unto Him and after the crucifixion were scattered again. (Isaiah 11.11 & 60, Ezekiel 11.17, Ezekiel 37, Jeremiah 46.16, John 12.20-24., John 16.32.)

The glory of the Lord will fill the earth. All the earth will hear H-s voice. The One and only Holy One from G-d (Jesus, Son of G-d) has come into the world. Messianically, He kept the Law perfectly, fulfilled all things and overcame yielding sinlessly and sacrificially unto the lowest place of our sin, and He who knew no sin became sin and died. Jesus did so to redeem us to the Highest. The grave could not hold H-m and H- was raised for our justification. No greater love than to lay down H-s life while we rejected H-m. The Messiah, Jesus has overcome this world and has taken our sins and abolished death. Only the Son of G-d could die for our sin because as Son of G-d and Son of Man (The only holy One without sin could take our sin). He did redeem and ransom without sin unto the shedding of H-s Blood. Praise the Lord Jesus. Let heaven rejoice. May Jews, H-s own be blessed and kept. Bless you!

בדיוק. There are so many sources proving that no one will be left behind when moshiach comes. Unfortunately this comment section is full ignorant yidden (who will soon be redeemed)
the answer is in the zohar hakadosh, and also from all sifrei kabbalah (ramak and others). The non religious jews who will not do teshuva and are already engulfed in the klipa (forces of impurity) will be eradicated (during 15 days of darkness and after) but the spark of holiness in them will be taken out and given to tzadikims. the shoah will be nothing compare to what's about to happen soon beezrat H'. Jacoboson and his chabad lies and his mentor the baal hatanya have been put in herem - excommunication - by 3 times in a course of 25 years by the real observant jews including the gaon of vilna ZL. Chabad is a cult built on lies and twist and is NOT TORAH AND IS NOT JUDAISM ! do teshuva, go to a real orthodox shul not breslev or chabad who are apikorsims, buy yourself books of halacha (shulhan aruch) and DO TESHUVA
You start with נשמה שנתת בי טהורה, and say that the נשמה cannot be polluted and must remain pure because it is a piece of Hashem. This is heresy. The soul is not a piece of Hashem. The proof is in what you refrained to mention. אתה בראתה, You G-d created it. G-d does not create pieces of Himself. If He created it, there was a point in time when it did not exist. To say that about Hashem is heresy. You cannot have it both ways. Either it is a piece of Hashem (which in itself is heresy, because G-d cannot be divided) or it is a creation.
Messiah will return after the man of sin has proffered his mark and committed the abomination that causes desolation (child sacrifice?) in the Holy place.
There is no god except Allah and prophet Muhammad is his last messenger. We are awaiting the return of Jesus, don’t believe in the one-eye false messiah Dajjal.
Dear Christians , as Muslim, we actually believe in the same thing. We believe in Mother Mary having Virgin birth, the return of Christ, and that the chosen people are also doing all this and they will be surprised when their messiah is actually Dajjal (antichrist) . They are neglecting your people to worship on this Easter holiday where as in previous centuries Muslims, Christians and the chosen people of superior race all lived in harmony. Think about it during the ww2 holocaust the Palestinians had nothing to do with that genocide yet they all migrated their. Half their population lives in USA and the other half in Palestinian land. All this isn't a coincidence October. Hostages need to freed. I've never seen their govt looking for them but only raining bombs indiscriminately. All of us Abrahamic faiths should be together and not feed this end of time narrative. May God give us peace.
There’s no such thing as the anti Christ, always remember that Arab and other nations were only introduced to the concept of a Messiah due to interaction with the Jewish nation, therefore all other narratives or interpretations are incorrect. The concept of a virgin birth was taken from the Greco-Roman world of mythology and deification.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. >John, a(jewish) disciple of Jesus; from chapter 1

Just amazing. Thank you.!
The secular Jews who heard Rabbi Jacobson left feeling secure in the fact that they don’t have to change a thing of what they do, believe, not believe…whatever. And not only that, but that they’re superior to the Orthodox Jews according to the Rabbi. Does this help or hurt them in the long run? Or does this become an argument they can use in the future when anyone encourages them to do mitzvot?
From personal experience a lot of times what keeps secular jews secular is a mixture of hatred and guilt
Guilt for not being observant enough in the ways that deep inside.They want to be but find challenging to do so and hatred for the people who achieve it and likely judge them in the same breath
Most were the docks choose.Don't judge, but there are those who do and those who do push awayEven further the ones who are ready are pushed away
So by finding a way to strip away that guilt and that hatred a secular jew might feel more comfortable of taking on more mitzvot, instead of hearing the perpetual self loathing and guilt inside their heads from past or present judgment they have heard about themselves
You are right on, my concern also. It's not easy to change one's behavior many times you have to get uncomfortable in order to do so, by putting them at ease, I think it's unlikely they will feel any urgency to change
If there is anything this story tells me, it's that everyone is on their own path, and I can't imagine the greatness within. So what's wrong with each person figuring it out for themselves, while feeling comfortable in their own skin?
It is not a contest. Rebbe Nachman also speaks of the virtues of a simple, unlearned Jew. It's about humility and pure belief that Hashem is in charge. No frills, just pure truth
Sure they gave him a standing ovation. He said what they wanted to hear.

Christianity is the epitome of "following your own desires".
Instead of following what the Torah actually commands, they decide for themselves what to keep and make up new laws and ideas.
Violating the worst sins because of the emotional and spiritual lust of idolatry.

“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

@@Eli-y3y1b so true 👍🏾
We will have to wait for Mashiach to answer this question. Baruch HaShem, that will be SOOOOOOOOOOON.
...
But I am sad that none of the 4 rabbis (including R. Gold) said anything about Torah, Tefillah, Mitzvot, or Teshuva. These are the basic first rungs on the ladder of spirituality. You can't climb higher if you're not aware of the ladder, or stepping onto it.
Baruch HaShem, I became Baalit Teshuva 4 years ago, at the age of 61. What took me so long? I'm SO glad you asked!
I spent those 61 years as a non-frum Jew. Despite all the hundreds of times I attended Shabbat and Chag services, all the classes I took, all the attention to keeping a kosher home, lighting Shabbat candles for decades, making Shabbat dinners for family and friends for decades, sending my children to Mod. Orthodox day school, I DID NOT KNOW that only Orthodox Judaism is Torah-true. I did not know that NO ONE has the authority to change Torah laws: no one has the right to say, "Go ahead, turns lights on and off on Shabbat if you want to." I thought that frum Jews were old-fashioned and stuck in the past.
Once I learned the immutability of Torah, I HAD to move forward and climb higher.
First step: I started to dress differently (modestly), as a sign of respect for HaShem and the body he gifted to me. It still boggles my mind when I attend Zoom classes and see students partially dressed!)
There are TOO many Jews in the world today who don't know what Torah really is, or the basics of Jewish life, chas v'Shalom. They think that their lives will be "burdened" by their responsibilities to Torah life. They're happy in their current situation, believing that HaShem will forgive them for their ignorance and lack of interest in Him and His Torah, for not being curious about His gift.
They don't know that what makes a Jew unique is acceptance and welcome of HaShem's gift of Torah. He brought us out of Mitzrayim to be OUR GD, to entrust us with His Torah.
They also do not know that we, in the year 5784, are on the cusp of Geulah. (I only learned about galut and Geula 4 years ago.)
My spiritual life is SO different now! I say brachot, daven, and learn every day. I have learned quite a bit about Kabbalah, which deepens my understanding and increases my bitachon. (Just because I can't see oxygen doesn't mean it's not in the air I breathe, at the perfect ratio to the other gases in air; nor that it's crucial to breathing.) I'm also more aware of open miracles ... like the Iron Dome. (That's a particular favorite of mine, as HaShem's 4-letter name = 26 in Gematria, and Iron (Fe) has the atomic weight of 26. No coincidences!)
...
Too many of our brothers and sisters are like the prince in Rebbe Nachman of Breslov's tale "The Turkey Prince," are living UNDER the table, undressed, using animal language, eating scraps, and letting a flimsy veil (in the story, it's a tablecloth) hide the gloriously royal world that they could and should be living in.
Like in the story, they are waiting for a wise man to have the courage to meet them and teach them.
We need to let non-Torah Jews in on the "secret." They have been intentionally uninformed and are thirsty to drink the mayim chayim of Torah. Who is teaching them the Truth? I think the non-frum rabbis need to be re-educated and teach their congregations the Truth. Middah keneged Middah.
May HaShem Yirachem guide us! And may we experience Geulah SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful stories but the background music makes it VERY difficult to hear.
I find the music diminishes the message. This is not a movie that relies on the music score to tell us how to feel.
Amazing and Beautiful ❤️. Thank you very much for all these amazing stories! Yasher koach!
great video Reb Yoel. love how this video allows room for all and inspires us all to get closer to Hashem. it embraces how the middos we learn as Torah living Jews shine bright. Rabbi Jacobson's composure is a result of his connection to Torah, mitzvos, Chabad and The Rebbe. your ability to choose this video and message this as one to share is due to your beautiful heart and commitment to Torah. keep going brother. an inspiration for all.
I figure God’s sense of justice is better than ours. He probably cares more about our hearts than our religious affiliations. He’s also merciful. We can trust Him to do the right thing. He knows us well. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to make that effort. He wants our love, and we certainly need His.
Not allowed to sin while planning on doing teshuva for it later, that is essentially what a person is doing by counting preemptively on hashems mercy in lieu of improving their own behavior
If you rely on improving your own behavior in order to be right standing before God, you are wrong. All our human made righteousness amounts to “filthy rags” before God (read Isaiah chapter 64 and 65). Yes we need to strive to be pleasing to God, first and foremost by looking upon the One who was lifted up like Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. Believe in Him and you will be saved!
@@paullup6390 No, I’ve given up on trying to improve my own behavior, and yet my behavior is markedly improved. Good behavior is commendable, and it’s best achieved by surrendering to God’s will and let him do the changing. Still, the being-good part is not what justifies us in God’s eyes, it’s the eventual consequence of our acceptance of his grace, His unmerited favor. It’s through faith that we accept God’s grace, sufficient faith that we allow ourselves to surrender to His will. The good behavior is just the evidence that we have decided to stop relying on ourselves and put our faith in Him. I agree with you entirely. God doesn’t want us to go it alone. He’s unimpressed with our own do-gooding. He wants us to simply reach out and humbly accept his free grace. We will go about our lives gratefully doing all we can to be good, but the real good we do is because of Him.
B’H he revealed to us we were Jewish, before dna 🧬 test, but why our families went secular…. ?? All because of the anti semitism from xtians in America…. 🤬😡…. I wear my yellow star proudly. They will not take it away from me now, I finally know why I am so different and I’m proud Am Yisrael Chai …. But we do not have shul, nor community near us, 😢, we are observant alone.
The nations will hate us if we try to be like them and they will hate us if we live by the Torah. Isn't the choice obvious? I'm sorry you don't live in a community that supports your true growth in Judiasm. I knew numerous couples in that circumstance. Their growth in Torah and community support had them pack up and move to the observant Jewish community. So now they have Jewish schools, shuls, mikvot, grocery stores, Jewish book stores, modest clothing stores, and all the bracha from having frum neighbors.
Inspiring as always!!
Only 1/5th of the Jews in Egypt left. That is the simple straightforward pshat, the others died in the plague of darkness (Rashi). Now, after having received the Torah on Mount Sinai, can we imagine that our responsibility is any less than theirs was? Now, with Torah learning opportunities on so many channels, is our responsibilty to follow Hashem lessened? No, our responsibility is greater! The rabbi made the crowd feel good about themselves. But was this truly the right thing to say? They need to keep Shabbos, avoid sin and do mitzvot.
You're only partly correct. After Mount Sinai there's no such thing as a truly disconnected jew.. your responsibility to them is even greater.. if they still are not aware it's on your shoulders as much as theirs look in the mirror where the responsibility Lays... some people simply have never been educated as strange as that may sound to you... but that's the fact... the fact that you know about Heavenly stuff means your responsibility is greater not theirs
And the biggest part of the matzah it's not by the mitzvas on the table the whole night of the Seder.... the biggest portion of the Jews are not connected openly to the mitzvas....
But the Seder cannot be complete until the biggest portion is brought back to the mitzvas at the table... Then is the geulah...
You have lots of work to do
@sereneaspirations7019 if you believed that then you would say "We" have a lot of work to do.
@sereneaspirations7019 I hear you, but my problem is that I think the net result of Rabbi Jacobson's feel-good and telegenic message is that they will not be spurred on to make positive change to improve their souls, their middot, their attachment to Hashem vis-avis the mitzvot. Change does not come by being put at ease... no dentist worth his or her degree ever told their patient, "so you don't floss, it's alright, you are a valuable person with or without your molars!"
@@TheMikew79 😅 I'm already doing the work. I've been blessed to put Tefilin & have Shabbos guests in the last 6 weeks with Jewish people who have never had an experience of authentic Judaism upwards of even 70 years old...
so join me and together we will all make the Divine reality ❤
A beautiful story about the Rebbe Rashab (you must have timed it in honor of his hilula today).
Happy Pesach. Every soul is precious. I believe that Hashem sends us messages. Challenges help us grow. We can use our challenges to learn and grow closer to each other and to Hashem.May peace come soon.
Beautiful and true.
So the first answer was correct! HaShem had mercy and put the exact right words in Rav Jacobson's mouth.
But bec. of that ... they didnt get a song!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

Powerful!!!
Thank you for your efforts, Yoel. While I typically appreciate your videos, I must express my disappointment with the latest one. The Rabbi missed an opportunity to emphasize the importance of Teshuva and adherence to Torah, as elucidated by Maimonides, who writes that Hashem rewards the righteous and punishes the wicked. Rather than suggesting that religious jews will be "walking behind" someone that is a poshute jew (implying the secular ones) when Mashiach comes, the Rabbi should have conveyed the truth that every Jew requires Teshuva and observance of the Torah.
It appears that some Chabad rabbis have adopted more liberal and politically correct stances. A "poshute Jew," in essence, embodies the concept of a simple, devout individual-a Jewish plumber who faithfully observes the Torah and raises a family, rather than a scholarly luminary. The Rabbi should have proclaimed, "Hashem is infinitely merciful, allowing repentance even moments before death." One need only look to the example of King Menashe, who committed grave sins, including the murder of his own grandfather, the prophet Yeshaya. Yet, through Teshuva, he merited Olam Haba. Thus, attending the Rabbi's lecture presents an opportunity granted by Hashem to draw nearer through Torah observance and Mitsvot.
While Hashem promises retribution for the Reshaim, those ignorant of the truth require guidance, not neglect. Rabbi Jacobson's oversight in this regard may not be applauded on Yom Hadin. I encourage reading "Divine Madness" by Rabbi Avigdor Miller ZTL, who resided in Slabodka from 1933 to 1939. This work presents evidence suggesting that the Holocaust was a consequence of our sins. To suggest randomness in the worst tragedy of Jewish history is tantamount to heresy. As taught, not a leaf stirs without Hashem's will. Therefore, the slaughter of one-third of His people surely bears significance as punishment. While we may never fully comprehend Hashem's calculations, the Torah unequivocally underscores the imperative of righteousness, with severe consequences for transgression-illustrated in the sins of the spies, the incident with the Midianite women, the sin of the golden calf, and numerous others.
Very well said brother
Excellent comment. You’re right. He should have said we all have to do tshuva. He missed a chance, and the “Orthodox “ rabbi said basically the same thing he said. חבל that he didn’t give people more of a chance.
I'm chabad... The more I just talk about life and laugh and experienced real challenges with my less religious friends, the more they choose Judaism on their own..
It's because of comments like the rabbi said, that globally there are more Jewish children in chabad schools.. And chabad has FAR MORE jews globally at the pesach seder ( who come on their own)..
Etc
Read up on the dinim of tochacha. Very clearly the audience was not going to listen to harsh messaging. They had already booed the one rabbi. Rabbi YYs message is far more likely to mekarev those yidden to Torah than blasting them with hell and brimstone.
Anyway, have you forgotten yishayahu? We know the "אבדים בארץ אשור" are coming back with us. No one left behind this time. Geula from mitzriam was a template but this coming geula will be different as spelled out by our prophets.
Also how dare you guess at the Holocaust meaning? Since when are you privy to the meaning of all the Abishter's activities?
@@Didleeios88 you definitely have a point. I just thought it would have been nice to say, “We ALL have to improve.” Which is true. Also, we don’t know exactly the “why” of the Holocaust, but Rav Avigdor Miller writes about it. There was one person I read about who was in the Kovno ghetto. He said, “ I didn’t see Germans, I saw Pesukim.” (verses from the curses in Chumash, I assume he meant).
Wonderful Baruj Hashem
it's a nice story, and it might make the secular ones feel good in the moment...I'm sure it made the crowd pleased. but if it was your child, would you want them to feel more comfortable pushing the commandments of Hashem aside? Or would you want them to complete every last mitzvah they could with focus and dedication?
I agree, the answer was political.
Of course you want your children to go in the ways of Torah, but parents have to accept their adult children migjt make different choices.Do u stop loving them? Stop praying for them?NO.Neit
her does Hashem. He gave us free will.
You will get them to keep more mitzvos with love than with the opposite.
First they need to understand their intrinsic worth - that they are precious to Hashem like diamonds - and then they will strive to be closer to Him.
😅 with all the mistakes that you make nevertheless God still spends every breath with you... none of us are perfect or even close and God keeps giving us love and care. Learn from God how to treat people and keep giving to them and not be so judgmental
When Moshiach shows and awakens the true value, i.e. the soul, of every Jew they will ALL decide to do Torah and mitzvot. In fact that is the ONLY true motivation for doing them. As the Zohar writes: Moshiach will make the Tzadikim do tshuva.
We are lions of men women in faith that God has healed you your family
Moshiakh is not coming anytime soon. He hasn't for over 2,000 years. An no amount of chabad propaganda will ever change that.
I like chabad, btw. Secular Jews are and will be just fine.
Only have to observe the Law.
Jesus fulfilled the Law so we don’t have to. Yeshua fulfilled the Old Testament and fulfilled what we Christians call the New Testament. in one try. because He is God. we all have sin and all need a savior. i encourage you to read the New Testament and see how similar and smooth it is with the Old Testament. it’s written and inspired by the SAME GOD. Jesus came, died for our sins, rose from the dead and set us free from eternal damnation. all you must do is believe. and then receive the Holy Spirit of God to cleanse you and lead you. you can have an everyday relationship with Jehovah! everyday. all the time He is with you and shows you your path. trust in Yeshua and His sacrifice will atone for your sins. He was, is, and always will be the perfect Lamb. He is our savior. it’s just whether or not you believe. read the NT and with curiosity ask God to lead you. and if you trust in Him, then He should reveal yes?…
Amen.@@toppy4180
P S. If not it's hard to see how they will not accept the false Hamashiach the Antichrist.

*Really?* ▪︎The Messiah was to bring peace, where is the peace for 2000 years? ▪︎The Messiah was to be from the tribe of Judah, tribe is Only passed father to son, if a person has no human father, they have No tribe. ▪︎The Messiah was to be a direct descendant of both King David and King Solomon. By the genealogy In the No Testament, Jesus's two genealogies show he descends from Nathan, Solomon's brother, not Solomon. The other genealogy shows descent through King Jeconiah, who was said to never have a descendant sit on the throne of David. *So where was this Messiah? Who was this Messiah?*
Yoshke is about as much a messiah as hamas is a humanitarian organization
Yesh was a messiah. A prophet sent by God. But he wasn't the messiah of Aaron and David.
UTube videos on the Jews for Judaism channel answer this question.
Messiah was of the firstborn, Joseph, through Ephraim and David, never Judah. Messiah did bring peace, and ESAU slaughtered Him because he is still waiting for his "moshiach", the man of sin. (2Thess 2)
@psalm2764 Joseph, who? Jesus wasn't the son of Joseph, remember? The father of Jesus was named as Elohim, wasn't he?
The curse of Jeconiah applies to Joseph and his descendants. None of Joseph's descendants can ever attain the throne of Israel.
What about us the converts, what happens to us? We don’t have a tribe to go to.
The true question is what happens when you already missed the true messiah, killed him shouting " his blood on our children", and still curse him in your prayers? If you pray the father while you kill and curse the Son, what will the Father do to you?
This makes me think of Psalms chapter 2.
The true Messiah will bring world rectification and peace
@@sandrashechter2180 thé messiah awaited by Israël is thé anti messiah. Hé is coming to wage War, His hands will bé full of blood. Thé true messiah is Jésus, hé never killed anyone. If you read thé prophecies of Daniel, you will see that Daniel wrote that thé messiah had to Come before thé destruction of thé second temple. But thé rabbis hide and curse this prophecy as well as many other scriptures from thé prophets of Ashem, as well as Jésus himself. The rabbis want to keep thé vineyard for themselves, that is why they do not give fruits to thé Landlord, thé creator. Thé vineyard belongs to Ashem, not to religious leaders.
What a great story, not only did you throw the Torah in the garbage but you made hundreds of secular Jews doomed to Gehinom. Hashem says clearly if you violate His laws you will be cut off from the nation and suffer eternal punishment. At least you can say you're one of the many Rabbi's that Hashem says will be in the end times leading people astray.
Level 7 Consciousness only exists in Nunawading.
Wow. When Moshiach comes, that will be the _beginning_ of the journey, not the end. Everyone will want to know more, to be more, to grow closer. Orthodox or affiliated or unaffiliated, we'll all embark on a journey. - Think about what happened in Egypt. When Moses returned to redeem them, was that the end of the story?
Rabbi jacobson might be a good speaker, but he is definitely one liberal rabbi..why not say the truth? Why you so scared ? Hashem is definitely waiting for tshuva, repentance, and yes, we all need to hear it..whether we like it or not...Hashem is waiting with His love and patience. We need to use our senses and do the right things..we got the Torah, our guideline to help us .
You have to have a relationship with someone before they care about your opinion. Gevurah will only alienate them more. I would bet money many of the people in the audience came back to Rabbi Jacobson with more questions. I have heard R'Yitzchak Breitowitz say very similar things to secular Jews. No one considers him liberal.
Simon Jacobson, like Manis Friedman, distort the reality of Torah and cheapen it to be loved. Chabad today is a different religion from Judaism.
Yes you're right he is like this kofer Manis.
Baruch HaShem 🙏🏽✡️🌈
Amen v'Amen
In this story my take away was not that all is ok and if you're secular keep doing what you are doing. I think Rabbi Jacobson is working on the assumption that everyone is or should be growing and struggling. Where they are on the ladder vs. where they should be is Hashem's determination. And it is. Even with the middah k'neged middah idea related to the Holocaust- Tzaddikim and innocent children were tortured and slaughtered and secular Jews were saved, so obviously G-d's judgment is on a different plane than our human one.
I suggest reading Michtav Me'Eliyahu from Rabbi Eliyahiu Dessler (Strive for Truth in English). He has a whole discource on bechirah (free will) where he discuss the concept Rabbi Jacobson speaks of (in a Litvishe, non-Chasidic context...)
Depends on if they reject the mark of the Antichrist and how theyll treat their brothers who love the Messiah.
B''H Amen
First observation: Because a knowledge of the creator was conveyed to the human race through the Hebrew patriarchs, it is easier for Hebrews than for non-Hebrews to understand the backstory conveyed through the Hebrew prophets. How did Jacob become Israel? Read the story. A person doesn't need to be affilited with a religious organization to have a spiritual experience similar to that of Jacob. It is those who have such an experience with the creator who will survive the glorious apearing of Messiah.
Second observation: Moses wrote, "Then the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the beath of life; and man became a living soul."
To the Hebrew prophets of antiquity, a human was a unit comprised of the union of the body and the breath of life. Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi lived before Plato wrote about the philosophy known as dualism - that we are spiritual entities entraped in moral bodies. Some of the Hebrews of antiquity believed in a future resurrection and some did not but a careful analysis of the words used in the Hebrew Bible shows that the people who wrote its various parts were not influenced by Greek philosophy.
There was only one author.G-d dictated to Moses.zThe Torah is DIVINE.Many ways to prove it.
I agree except nowadays if you aren't affiliated thats your choice. If u really want to be apart of our people and act as jewish as possible w/in your current situation, u would find a way. If not, youre basically a gentile. So yes i agree w/the orthodox rabbi the most and i was raised conservative
Hallelu Yah, Blessed Be He!
Isaiah 11:11 talks about a remnant being saved when the Messiah comes so that's not necessarily good news for secular Jews I'm afraid.
@avkay12 Hashem does and if you read the Tanach He states it clearly. Only the observant will survive.
Isaiah 11.11 says Messiah will recover both Israel and Judah for a second time. The first time culminated in John 12.20-23
Which is why we are going through gog umagog now. Everyone will do teshuva there won't be "unaffiliated" it's a moot point
When such fear is put in you - like the fear of Oct 7 - you're going to scream out for G-d to help you and you will promise to keep shabbat or dress modestly if G-d saves you. There will be no one in the world who is unaffiliated at that point.
But I would highly recommend getting on a plane asap to Israel because the chance of survival and being in the remaining 1/3 is much greater over here than in chutz laaretz

The Wisdom of the Sages
All Israel have a share in the World To Come, as it is stated (Isaiah 60:21): 'And Your people are tzadikkim (righteous).' They shall inherit the land forever. They are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, in which I take pride. (Sanhedrin 90a)
כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵשׁ לָהֶם חֵֽלֶק לְעוֹלָם הַבָּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וְעַמֵּךְ כֻּלָּם צַדִּיקִים, לְעוֹלָם יִֽירְשׁוּ אָֽרֶץ, נֵֽצֶר מַטָּעַי מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי לְהִתְפָּאֵר.
What will happen to any Jew, ultra, modern orthodox or humanitarian? Not a one fits all shoe.
What people say they will do and what actually happens...
Lol.
I'm your messiah.
Correction: ... when Moschiach returns? OK?
No one nos exactly what’s going to happen when he comes
Shockingly similar to what Yeshua said:
Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ So the last will be first, and the first last.”
When Moshiach comes he will insist that Palestinians get their rights. All Zionists will point at him and call him an AntiSemite for that! Hahahaha!
Shalom. Soul dealer. Who knows a human soul better, than ELOHIM ? U are worried only about the unaffiliated jews, but to Heavenly Father all souls jew n goyim are precious in HIS sight for ALL are the works of HIS HANDS.
So HE sents HIS Messiah ( just like HE sent Moshe...........) to save as many as will recieve HIM. Before ELOHIM will sent Him, again as KING to rule, n HE will cast out all who will not receive Him, n their blood will be on their own head, because they have rejected ELOHIM's ANOINTED Saviour through whom HE chose to save them from death n to give eternal life.
All except messianic Jews 😂😂😂😂
Messianics are christians. Just like jews for jesus fraudently using the name jew doesn't change that they are just a christian group.
I'm with Rabbi Jacobsen on this. Who are any of us to judge another person? You want to virtue signal and compete as to who is the frummer Jew, well good for you. Some of those simple Jews that you think nothing of are out there making changes in the very fabric of existence with their quiet good deeds and you would never know. Please lets each of us be responsible for our own level of attachment to Gd, and let other people be responsible for theirs. If someone wants to grow in their practical Torah observance that's a beautiful thing and we can help if we're invited. Let's just stop judging a book by its cover. You never know what's inside another person.
One of the biggest problems I see with some factions of Orthodoxy is that it's all about external appearances, but when you crack the shell, there's nothing inside. I've met plenty of Orthodox people who go through all the right motions but don’t actually believe in or have a relationship with Gd in any way. Give me the simple Jew over the pretenders any day xxx
This issue has nothing to do with other Orthodox people, whether or not they do the right thing, or of how people judge a person.
If a person is born of a Jewish mother, going back matrilineally to either the children of our spiritual forefather Jacob, or to a Kosher female convert; this is a sign that this person's soul was at Mount Sinai about 3300 years ago, accepting the Torah at the same time as the live people, even before this person's soul was born into a live body.
This person is a Jew, which means that this person's job description is to learn and practice Torah and Mitzvos, irrespective of what other people do or don't do, or of how other people judge this person.
If this person does NOT repent and start practicing Torah and Mitzvos before this person dies; then based on the judgement of G-d, NOT on the judgement of other people; this person will have a very warm afterlife and will NOT have a share in the World To Come.
Quiet good deeds will NOT save a Jew who desecrates Shabbos and eats non-Kosher food. ALL of the Mitzvos which apply to this person MUST be observed; both those between a person and G-d, and those between a person and another person. Judaism is NOT A La Carte, where you get to pick only what you like.
The "Poshute Yid" (simple Jew) mentioned in the video was not necessarily a Torah scholar; but he kept Torah and Mitzvos. For example, he observed Shabbos and the Holidays and ate Kosher food. He was NOT secular. Being a SIMPLE Jew and being a SECULAR Jew are not the same.
Jacobson had a chance to help these secular Jews repent. Instead, he told them what they WANTED to hear; not what they NEEDED to hear. He has killed them spiritually.
As long as a person is alive, that person can repent. Once that person dies, there's no more chance to repent. There's only judgement by G-d, as to how well that person kept Torah and Mitzvos while that person was alive.

JESUS IS THE ANSWER
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. 18 The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Romans 10:9-11: "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved".
Acts 16:31: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved".
John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me".
in the meantime, why don't you make aliyah to israel and show real faith?
Sorry to be rude to that Rabbi who said Jews suffered Holocaust because they were not religious enough. Sorry, but no. How despicable a statement.
the holocaust was perpetrated upon Jacob-Israel by ESAU.
Jesus Christ is your MESSAIH.
Please remove the viel of Moses
What's left is the coming of Satan as Messiah. The true Messiah has already come and fulfilled all prophecies....
Yes. Amen. His disciples were gathered supernaturally unto Him and after the crucifixion were scattered again. (Isaiah 11.11 & 60, Ezekiel 11.17, Ezekiel 37, Jeremiah 46.16, John 12.20-24., John 16.32.)

The glory of the Lord will fill the earth. All the earth will hear H-s voice. The One and only Holy One from G-d (Jesus, Son of G-d) has come into the world. Messianically, He kept the Law perfectly, fulfilled all things and overcame yielding sinlessly and sacrificially unto the lowest place of our sin, and He who knew no sin became sin and died. Jesus did so to redeem us to the Highest. The grave could not hold H-m and H- was raised for our justification. No greater love than to lay down H-s life while we rejected H-m. The Messiah, Jesus has overcome this world and has taken our sins and abolished death. Only the Son of G-d could die for our sin because as Son of G-d and Son of Man (The only holy One without sin could take our sin). He did redeem and ransom without sin unto the shedding of H-s Blood. Praise the Lord Jesus. Let heaven rejoice. May Jews, H-s own be blessed and kept. Bless you!

בדיוק. There are so many sources proving that no one will be left behind when moshiach comes. Unfortunately this comment section is full ignorant yidden (who will soon be redeemed)
Mathew 24😮
the answer is in the zohar hakadosh, and also from all sifrei kabbalah (ramak and others). The non religious jews who will not do teshuva and are already engulfed in the klipa (forces of impurity) will be eradicated (during 15 days of darkness and after) but the spark of holiness in them will be taken out and given to tzadikims. the shoah will be nothing compare to what's about to happen soon beezrat H'. Jacoboson and his chabad lies and his mentor the baal hatanya have been put in herem - excommunication - by 3 times in a course of 25 years by the real observant jews including the gaon of vilna ZL. Chabad is a cult built on lies and twist and is NOT TORAH AND IS NOT JUDAISM ! do teshuva, go to a real orthodox shul not breslev or chabad who are apikorsims, buy yourself books of halacha (shulhan aruch) and DO TESHUVA
Not a single one of those cherems were upheld. That's a very big problem to your belief system, as it puts Chabad in a similar position to Rambam
@@DrKaii the contrary!
# ISAIAH 53 REVEALS YESHUA HAMASHIACH
BALONEY
Have you tried reading Isaiah 52 also?
Have u read all of Isiah? You have NO CLUE
You start with נשמה שנתת בי טהורה, and say that the נשמה cannot be polluted and must remain pure because it is a piece of Hashem. This is heresy. The soul is not a piece of Hashem. The proof is in what you refrained to mention. אתה בראתה, You G-d created it. G-d does not create pieces of Himself. If He created it, there was a point in time when it did not exist. To say that about Hashem is heresy. You cannot have it both ways. Either it is a piece of Hashem (which in itself is heresy, because G-d cannot be divided) or it is a creation.
Please-my friends-consider that Messiah has come and will be coming again soon. ❤
Messiah will return after the man of sin has proffered his mark and committed the abomination that causes desolation (child sacrifice?) in the Holy place.
There is no god except Allah and prophet Muhammad is his last messenger.
We are awaiting the return of Jesus, don’t believe in the one-eye false messiah Dajjal.
BALONEY Yeah we can see from your bloodlust how righteous and godly your belief system is ..😂😂😂
Dear Christians , as Muslim, we actually believe in the same thing.
We believe in Mother Mary having Virgin birth, the return of Christ, and that the chosen people are also doing all this and they will be surprised when their messiah is actually Dajjal (antichrist) . They are neglecting your people to worship on this Easter holiday where as in previous centuries Muslims, Christians and the chosen people of superior race all lived in harmony.
Think about it during the ww2 holocaust the Palestinians had nothing to do with that genocide yet they all migrated their. Half their population lives in USA and the other half in Palestinian land. All this isn't a coincidence October. Hostages need to freed. I've never seen their govt looking for them but only raining bombs indiscriminately. All of us Abrahamic faiths should be together and not feed this end of time narrative. May God give us peace.
There’s no such thing as the anti Christ, always remember that Arab and other nations were only introduced to the concept of a Messiah due to interaction with the Jewish nation, therefore all other narratives or interpretations are incorrect.
The concept of a virgin birth was taken from the Greco-Roman world of mythology and deification.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
