My best friend, who was my brother, passed away on February 1st and always shared so many valuable lessons with me. Neither of us are Jewish, but I always called him "Rabbi" because of his mannerisms and the way he parted wisdom. We also first met when we acted in our high school play, Fiddler on the Roof.
Anyway.. after he passed, you popped into my TH-cam feed. So, with that, I feel you are a gift sent to me from my brother. A true virtuo synchronicity. I know he wouldn't want me to be without knowledge and comfort.
Thank you, Rabbi. Thank you so much for the comfort I need during this time.
Just letting you know l understand what you are saying. I lost my older brother in 92' which changed me in ways l can't begin to explain. But mostly he taught me so much about so much regarding life and how to get on and the self and others who crossed my path. Rabbi Jacobson now means so very much to me. I only wish that my brother, Rabbi and l could have l hr. together. What a blessing that would be. We were not raised Jewish, but l have personally had some remarkable people in my life that were Jewish that l will never forget. Funny you should mention Fiddler, one was in the Broadway production as long as it ran.

I take the blessings we have and cherish them fondly. Thank you for sharing your story with me. If you’re brother is anything like my brother, they’re probably having a beer and enjoying some sort of awesome band in a small venue, discussing their next destination in eternity.
I also hope those changes were positive. Mine has been me reflecting the unconditional love of my brother. He had patience and a love that was something I can’t explain. He watched me be a screw up and just patiently allowed me to fiddle around until I figure it out. I’m grateful for that, and it’s really taught me how to love deeper.
I grew up with a single mother with mental illness and my childhood was very chaotic, sometimes we were homeless living in shelters or tents in the woods and sometimes we had a home but no electricity or running water…I’ve been in this warrior mode for so long it’s hard to know how else to be. And once again, just hearing you talk about this and knowing I’m not alone has helped me immensely. Thanks again for being a voice for people like me who are always on defense but would like to play offense.
in martial arts we say: is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
is very important to train and learn boundaries and set boundaries to protect ourselves and the ones we love. avoiding conflict just makes you a pushover, not a pacifist.
Very well said for the most part. I think the Amish exemplify a work toward peace approach, but they live in community where they can. Personal empowerment is not something that's encouraged in our society and that has cost us a great deal. Everyone is a victim and there is no desire to teach people the wisdom and courage to simply "be".
@@mariannorton4161 well everyone is a victim. is a fucking insane hell that we live in. it takes a fuck ton of courage and work to become a warrior beyond the keyboard. nobody like actually wants to be a victim, if anything more people seem to want to be the victimizers
Sam Gamgee begs to differ
@@dvidsilva And that is the reflection of what we've allowed our society to become.
I live in THE world but I don't have to be a part of it. Yes I must entertain some musts, thing like going shopping but even then my actions, reactions or overreacting are contingent on the maintenance of my Spiritual Condition. Read the transcript from this discourse and you'll discover that shortly into it Rabbi Jacobson focuses on DEFENDING not fighting.
Out of so much nonsense on TH-cam, it’s great to hear someone speaking words of real value and wisdom. This very subject was something I’ve been struggling with personally in my life. Thank you for your guidance Rabbi.
I grew up in a household that often mocked religion but stepping into my later years I have tried to keep an open mind and lots of what you say in your videos rings true and has good morals and advice. One of my favourite parts of my day is listening to your stories. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world.
Guten Morgen!
Same here friend, religion has really given me somthing in life that nothing else ever could, my family where the same, but now that they have seen the changes they too are coming around to the notion now.
I am the opposite, I came from a religious family called Catholicism, that pretty much controls 80% of the Philippines. Catholicism teaches the narrative that Jews are bad and Romans are good because according to their story, Pharisees were the ones who wanted Jesus dead and the Romans were very reluctant on murdering Jesus. They even mentioned they cleaned their hands before murdering Jesus, so technically don't blame this on the Romans that are occupying Jerusalem, blame it on the Jews who betrayed their brothers. This is what I am getting from their message. Is it TRUE?
Do you agree with that STORY and that Narrative?
Because If I am a gentile who doesn't know the Hebrew scriptures and was blind to the truth. I could be guided by a bunch of false teachers that are teaching me to hate the Jews and that could cause wars.
So, I too want to be open-minded about this kind of story and not just go along with people's narrative... "WHO MURDERED JESUS?"
This is a 2k-year-old cold case file for me that needed disclosure.
Thank you, Rabbi.
I opened up my Bible and read this Psalm when I woke up:
~ The Divine Shepherd ~
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.
... beautiful spiritual nourishment.
A spiritual warrior fights for respect, truth, compassion, virtue, wisdom, fulfillment and honor, through a vile sewer of sorrow, heartbreak, terror, suffering, lack, and emptiness. Xoxo!
Ha. All put together- Witty!
I very much appreciate you and I love this amazing true warrior comment. ❤ Thank you.
Et cela aussi passera!
From your reply Miss Kitty Whip, I take it you're NOT a spiritual warrior?
I like the description you used, well worded but far fetched. My question is, "how are you ( or me ) a spiritual warrior?" If you are one, why not claim it?
If you Google What Is Spiritual Warrior you can scroll down and every description is different.
I've not studied Eastern WAYS or Paths to convert and adopt every code. But I am a Spiritual Warrior.
One of many thoughts I examine each morning is I AM Not As Important As I Think I Am. When I accept or realize this I become an integral part of the Universal channel of Empathy.
I'm not disciplined enough, I admit to handle every controversial situation or calamity as a gentleman so I subscribe daily to this fact;;
at any given moment I may become disappointed, frustrated, annoyed or hurt by a person, place or thing.
I accept life on life's terms but I don't live life on life's terms. Life isn't always fair and people aren't always kind. I do however make great efforts every moment to be mindful of my surroundings which includes people, places and things.
I walk proudly and I speak in humble tones. As I go through the day I'm always observing, analyzing myself and other human beings and nature and inanimate objects.
My past is in my past. The dimension I occupy today is the result of years of listening to those wise men and women, self examining, meditation and prayer not forgetting that I've also made every amend possible to anyone I've harmed in some way.
I prefer solitude yet I do socialize to a small degree. And I often do without things to help someone else - with a grateful heart.
As an Empath the overcharged sensory aptitudes I inherently hold run high.
But, intently challenge my unselfishness as a weakness and a different persona metamorphosises. I won't respond violently or maliciously but I will shame you with your own words. My Spirit does not welcome attempts of subjugation.
And those things you mentioned that a Spiritual Warrior FIGHTS FOR, I don't believe you for a second that a Spiritual Warrior fights for them. If you listened intently to Rabbi Jacobson and followed his discourse by reading the transscript, he stated in other words - we DEFEND those things not fight for them. As a former Marine I can assure you I understand what it means to fight and I understand what it means to defend.
I have a saying that came to me one day whilst meditating:
The best thing to do isn't always the right thing to do.
The right thing to do isn't always the best thing to do.
Grandfather John
Sober, Spiritual, Supernatural ~
lack and emptiness? Do explain??
I like that you are a male figure addressing issues that those of us that grew up with very little emotionally and not to mention proper male models that could instruct us in these very things. It gives me hope for others that one day will be parents, because at least they have something to hold on thru the wisdom you share.
Edit. Thank you very much sir!
Thank you Rabbi Jacobson
✡️🙏♥️🔥
Beautiful day for you and everybody here!!
💪🙂✌️
Please put my kids and i in prayers ! Please 🙏👑
I just want to create peace in my world, but I learned I have to stand up for myself when I've been harmed. 💞
Well put, Simon. David has always been a character I’ve admired. He is profoundly human; flawed and triumphant.
He engages. He learns from experience, remains true to his God and is blessed, despite his hardships and tragedy.
I am Loved 🥰 and Blessed 😇
Safe and Free. I am in Peace 😊
Thank You 🙏 Jesus I Love You❤
This message sits with me in a strong way. Thank you for this talk, Rabbi.
There is nothing to fight against. There are only thoughts. 💓
Thank you for this message. I have begun a focused effort to reconnect with my soul and your message is one of many that resonates with the inner workings! The warrior is weary from fighting battles that seemed to be in the present, but should have remained in the past. Striving to be less defensive and less reactive, maintaining strength to choose softer responses and be proactive.
I'm not Jewish but have enjoyed hearing your wisdom and teachings over a few videos. I subscribed & look forward to more helpful insights from you.
Yay the rabbi uploaded again 😁...
I just wanted to write this brief message to give a shout out to one of my favorite rabbi's...
You always give me so much to think about. I've recently returned to church, and I think you're part of the reason that I took this step, you're encouraging me to become a better person. Thank you Sir!
My great appreciation sir for sharing your wisdom with us, the world today needs much of it.
I hear you. I needed this I think. When challenges seem overwhelming and my capacity so small, to understand, to put things in perspective and come up with the right answer. Then I can't think of it in these overall terms. I'm just fighting, looking for an answer that fits. Trying to meet my problem and wondering, why me? Not complaining but thinking 'this never happened to me before. Now its happening all the time. Almost routine. Why now? Why me? Lord, what are you trying to tell me?
Then you mentioned David. My mate. My son the tough business man. Demanding, clever, charming to meet but full frontal and challenging to me, his own father.
From a small child he was able to come up with answers that I could not see, Noone else could. We played with sticks as swords, with boats, with chess pieces. He already could beat me. He became a martial arts man and then a tradesman, then a business man. TOUGH. Reliable. But to me, a child, soft, listening. A true King David.
I remember David in the cave with sleeping Saul. Able to conquer his arch enemy with a stroke of his sword. But staying his hand. Saying "This is the chosen of the Lord. He must not be killed."
But he left Saul a message. 'killroy was here!' tread carefully with me.
A profound warning to Saul.
'You have human power only so long as our Divine beloved wills it.'
Thank you Rabbi, for explaining and spelling this point out.
'if it was easy, then everyone would be doing it'.
It means 'if the challenge is tough, and God has given it to you, you must be up for it.'
Exquisite content ✨ This is what youtube was meant for. Gems to be shared 💎✨
Shalom Rabbi Jacobson, from Portugal. Imense gratfullness for being able to listen and share your Human, sintropic and correct warm conversation and intelect. Thank you. Most interesting person, since George Steiner, neverless Everybody.🖐
Beautiful! I am not Jewish as far as I know, but with the diaspora who knows. I know I feel a real connection in learning the Torah and studying Kabbalah. I was brought up Christian, but I see the Messiah from the roots of something much more beautiful and deep. I thank you and much appreciate watch and meditating on your teaching.
Bless you my christian brother..Jesus Christ is indeed our LORD..praise Ye a million times
Thank you for giving. King David the reflective understanding and respect, he was an incredible man who went through so much but never stopped trusting in God. I get tired of all the sermons from pastors who only bring up his infidelity and paint him in an undeserving and horribly disrespectful way. It just makes me sick inside when I hear people disrespecting God's greatest people like that.
Thank you once again. More wisdom 🙏
I love it, thank you, it helps alot, you help.
needed this, tyvm
Thank you as always Rabbi.
Thank you rebbe , I need to hear that today

I love listening to you and your brother, Rabbi! I'm able to get my accounting work done and learn at the same time 😃
Wonderful. Loved the candle story at the end.

Thank you so much Rabbi, you have no idea how relevant this information was for me tonight, I am hoping to embrace the love and just understand, thank you❤
Thanks B"H
Much as modernity and the Conversations' and the Conversions' of open inspiration though respect for freedom. Thanks again🤯
Rabbi S Jacobson
Love this guy! Keep up the great work! I feel for my fellow man who didn't have good people to learn from while growing up.
Thank you so much🍓🍒🍓🍒
Thank you very much for this important message. Understanding things at a deep level is extremely helpful to me. This was a particularly important subject and I greatly appreciate your peaceful demeanor in this videos and others.
Awesome lesson. I will listen again multiple times and if I impart even a fraction of this wisdom on my subconscious it will be a blessing!
❤🙏 Thank you Rabbi Simon Jacobson for the teaching today.
Thank you Rabbé! yesterday I had to stand in for myself in sharky waters. Made my day...🙏
No fight.
Vibrate what you want!
Thank you this is a wonderful message that a lot of people really need right now fighting with your self is more destructive then accepting the harder and softer side of your self becoming one whole instead of to lost halves that’s how you can start living a full life
Thank you for this lecture. You just gifted me a candle of knowledge to dispel the darkness of doubt. May peace be with you
I love you all so very much
Shalom
Thank you!
Thank you. There is a lot to think about in this presentation.
Thank you, Rabbi, this lecture has brought me peace of mind. And as a fellow New Yorker I completely agree, it is difficult to be at peace within oneself in this atmosphere.
Thank you 👍👍
Rabbi SJ is a Trekkie! 🥰 You referenced several things that are near and dear to me, brought a smile every time. Great validation plus good food for thought. Grateful. 👍✨💕
Much appreciated! I understand this message in my head and heart 🙏
Thank you from Poland for the idea of harmony in the diversity.
Beautiful balance difficult to achieve but with God it becomes possible . Blessings rabbi . Tough minded and tender hearted . Mlk sermonized this too . Harden not your heart but keep some tough minded Ness. Serenity prayer acceptance courage wisdom. Shalom .
Thank you Sir for this message & teaching.... 🙏🙏
Thank you so much
You are a blessing
Ty for your teaching!
Great content. The the warrior in a garden vs the gardener in a war.
This is very insightful.
I deal with another dichotomy, within the world of the Warrior itself.
We enter the dark world of danger and duplicity, in order to get what is needed to survive,.
This is to function as a Warrior.
However, one of the main traits needed to survive as an employee is submission.
Do as one is told. Do not aggravate the Boss.
Here is the conundrum.
How to be Warrior-like AND submissive at the same time.
It's very, very difficult and tricky to integrate these two.
It reeks of duplicity and hypocrisy at every moment.
Imagine a sheepdog.
i like your voice sir. it is very calming and reassuring yet commanding.
Power under control is part of the Way. It is the disciplined that inherit the earth.
Thank you Rabbi
I believe there is a fine invisible line in the middle of everything, not a warrior not a gardener. just both. In this state you become whole with the world
Even though,Im femal,who lives in present time,for me,king David is like my alter ego,that is how i feel every time when i read tehilim!💓🙌
Yeah, I really appreciate the refresher last three years of being like I’m picking up the fragments of my soul and putting them back together I was under heavy, heavy, spiritual attack a lot of answers I’ve been revealed once again thank you
Thank you again Rabbi for your thoughts and wisdoms. I'm learning so much at youth at 71. I have been blessed by genetics as far as holding on to visual self. I must say that I'm learning so much more these days and it makes my heart soar to unexpected heights. My heart and soul are more open now to goodness than l ever remember. I listen to your words of your wisdoms and feel so vindicated in how l got here. I didn't understand so much way back then. Suddenly I'm embracing my advanced age in a way l never felt possible. I'm no longer afraid of discussing everlasting life. I'm beginning to understand so much. I have and am a student of Kabbalah and that's when this understanding began some 7to9 years ago. Now l have found you and I believe it to be yet another blessing. Stay well my friend.....laters
Thank you for sharing, and letting us be part of your journey. Please continue to browse our TH-cam channel, and website for even more fascinating content.
