Dear Mr. Abramson, I'm a Hungarian "hardcore" :) atheist, with no jewish roots whatsoever, but I find your presentations very enlightening and entertaining. I think it's very important to know and understand different cultures and traditions even if we might not agree with those. Thank you for sharing knowledge!
Atheism is a masonic deception , this man was high level occultist , hell is real is another dimension , top scientist are occultist they falsified science while practising witchcraft you have no idea how much they lie .
Dr. Abramson, I found this lecture perfect to show to the high school class I am teaching a college level of Child Development to. Your explanations really clarified difficult concepts for them and the background of Torah and religion was fascinating. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you, Dr. Abramson, for yet again another great lecture. I found your comment about 'tearing down to the roots' very profound and an apt description of Freud's work. My undergrad degree is in psychology and I found Freud a bit complex and misogynistic although I had the vantage point of looking back across decades of evolving psychoanalytic research and schools of thought. Now for a joke - I remembered it during a different lecture where you mentioned the Jewish farmers. A little background for the joke: I was a raised on an Illinois farm and in the spring we would get shipments of new chicks via US Mail. A city slicker decided to get back to nature and bought a small chicken farm. One day the mailman drove up with a peeping box of 2 dozen chicks and the novice farmer quickly went to work. Two weeks later the mailman arrived with yet another box of chicks and commented on how well this little chicken farm was going along to need more chicks. The farmer told him that the original 24 had died and that these were replacements. Three weeks later the mailman again arrived with a shipment of chicks. The frustrated farmer confessed that the second shipment had also perished and asked the mailman the following question: Do you plant them heads up or heads down?
The oldest jewish joke I'm aware of goes like this. A christian is walking down a street and sees a rabbi come towards him. The christian thinks to himself,'' Now I'll get answer an answer to my question.'' As they meet the christian says to the Rabbi,'' How come jewish people always answer questions with questions?'' The rabbi replies,'' So whats wrong with that.?''
Thank you, Dr. Abramson. I greatly enjoyed your lecture! Last year, I read a book I found very interesting: "Freud and the Jewish mystical tradition" by American psychologist David Bakan. I found it enlightening about the deep connection between Psychoanalysis and the Jewish Tradition. Well, it turns out that all the thinkers who have the biggest influence on me (Viktor Frankl, Erich Fromm, Sigmund Freud, Émile Durkheim, to name but a few) are Jews more or less brought up in the Jewish Tradition. It is no coincidence: as a matter of fact, for some reason, the Jewish culture resonates very deeply with me. By the way, I am from Montreal, Canada! :) Once again, thank you for your work.
I once saw at the Jewish Museum about twenty five years ago his reconstructed study with library as it was in his last London years. Among his books I noticed a small set of Shas! Yes it was a Shas. Have you heard anything about this? I read somewhere (likely a reliable source) that after Freud died, his widow who lived to a ripe old age reverted to keeping a kosher home. Also Freud named his son Oliver after Oliver Cromwell. Another factoid - Nietzsche who died in 1900, had a book of Freud's in his library, his translation into German of the writings of John Stuart Mill.
Yasher Koach Dr Henry, keep the interesting lecturers coming please. I have a fiend who lives here in Melbourne Australia. He says that Freud once described "being a teacher" as an impossible profession !!! Is this true? Also from memory I remember that Rabbi Shimon Cowen of Melbourne Australia *my birth place" held a conference or wrote an article about what was said between The Rebbe Rashab , The 5th Lubavitcher Rebbe TZL ZYA and Dr Freud when they met. Do you know what was exactly said at this meeting?
Thanks for this very informative video Dr. Abramson. I have a few questions though which I hope you will entertain in the future. Is Nostradamus a Jew? Same with Guillem/William of Gellone? And what is the term ‘end of days’ mean in jewish context? Any reply, lecture or video presentation will be highly appreciated. Thanks.
You didn’t bring up the good doctor’s predilection for cocaine. I cannot help but think that his cocaine habit affected his work and his personal relationships whether for good or bad.
Sigmund Freud's book about Moses reads quite differently than represented in this lecture: Freud conjectures that Moses was a son or high official of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Akhenaten invented monotheism, even before the Jews. Ramses II restored polytheism after Akhenaten's death. And Moses did not pick any random "slave people". But the Israelites were, in fact, the followers of Akhenaten's monotheism. They rather emigrated than adopting polytheism again. It is quite remarkable how biblical Israelis go out of their way, in order to disassociate Moses from Akhenaten. And citing archeological evidence that the first occurrence of Israelites was during the time of Ramses II. However, according to original Jewish time keeping, Moses was exactly at the time of Akhenaten. I have heard extensive analysis by Jewish rabbis, how Jesus is fake, from beginning to the end. So, how about Moses? How does it feel like, if your religious founder is not what your holy scripture says? Luckily, Sigmund Freud was a Jew himself. So you cannot just dismiss him as anti-semite, in the usual fashion.
What he never goes into is what causes Freud to reject the concept of God to begin with. How did he become this "Godless Jew", so much that he forbade his wife to light Shabbat candles in their home? This is a vital part of the man's psyche that is glossed over; an important part of who he was, and it is disappointing that it is not examined. How a Jew can still be a Jew ethnically, politically, but still be considered a Jew, even if he rejects the God of Israel, the very word of which defines the concept of "Struggling with God". Can this struggling result in rejection as well? It is generally accepted that one cannot be both an atheist and a Christian at the same time, but one can deny- as did Freud- the existence of a God, and still be a Jew. Perhaps other lecturers have discussed this more in depth, or books written about him have, as well.
I am not proud of being Jewish I used to challenge my mother about Jewish faith I am angry at the Jewish God because of my two failed marriages and my being fired from a job and haven't found a new one since

I second that.
What's a "hardcore atheist "?
@@marchess7420 it means he really hates God and in result himself.
Same here..... I thought I was the only atheist groupie of Rav Abramson.
Atheism is a masonic deception , this man was high level occultist , hell is real is another dimension , top scientist are occultist they falsified science while practising witchcraft you have no idea how much they lie .

The ol' "envelope joke." I was told that one when I was promoted to a low-level managerial position. (I never made it even to the second envelope.)

Pleased to listen to you. Thank you 🙏
Can you do one lecture on Immanuel Velikovsky please
Why?
@@marchess7420 because he was student of Sigmund Freud , friend of Albert Einstein and very interesting personality.

😊Your lectures are a complete delight ! Thank You 🙏
Glad you like them!
Thank you very much for your efforts to educate audience. I have found your videos today. I will follow your activity. I am happy to know you.
i am watching you right now, kurds love you
Dr. Abramson, I enjoyed this lecture very much. Thanks for making these available.

I have studied Freud since I was 17 (reading the complete translated works) and it's always good to see another take (his Jewishness).
Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you! I'm glad!

Thank you for the lecture!
Good lecture ,thank you.
In connection to this lecture maybe you could do one on Victor Frankel.
Yasher Koach Dr Henry, keep the interesting lecturers coming please.

Great lecture! Thank you.
outstanding
Victor Frankel...The Lubavitch Rebbe encouraged him to write and pursue his Logos method..which seems to be more effective than Freud. Shalom

He's an Ortodox Jew.
Richard Friedman discuss the Exodus as an exodus of the Levites. Not quite the same as Freud, but along similar lines.
Outstanding 🕍💛
He didn’t give up his Jewish heritage, because he found a network of knowledge and brotherly culture advantages
You didn’t bring up the good doctor’s predilection for cocaine. I cannot help but think that his cocaine habit affected his work and his personal relationships whether for good or bad.

Jewish law and regulations are in fact secular. They do not really need faith in God.
I am not proud of being Jewish I used to challenge my mother about Jewish faith I am angry at the Jewish God because of my two failed marriages and my being fired from a job and haven't found a new one since
interesting
thx
eheheheh.....Prof....you have got my laugh.....and respect...thank you..
20:30 well there is some truth in there, there is a lot of Nietzsche in his "profound ideas", at least to my point of view.
Hmm
All he really amounted to was a Hellenistic fool!
Call it outdated but I think we’re seeing a lot of that hysteria in today’s American population...
Maybe?
Sigmund Fraud
04 20 22
Oy!
He was NOT a "great thinker", just a mere fool!
The FOOL has said in his heart, there is no God!
Yes
But he was no "Gottesnarr" - fool of God.
And to label somebody not sharing his believes as fool is a symptom of foolishness!
Freud was definitely off his head.
He was a bad Cocaine addict which says a lot
Sigmond Freud would be clapping with joy at the state of gender in America in 2022. Creep
Stop making your Drug dealers hero
Love the joke!
Interesting Froyd to fester bad thoughts or sexual thoughts. Alcohol releases these festers
Primitive thinker
Does he have to wear that hat nice presentation?
