Another wonderful lecture by my online mentor and teacher Rabbi Moshe Weisblum. Thank you for being a wonderful communicator, orator, a proud Jew and a learned man.
Another wonderful lecture by Rabbi Dr. Moshe Weisblum. I hope to meet him one day in person. He is a wonderful communicator and Speaker. He is an historian, philosopher and a prolific writer. He is an erudite scholar, a reader and spoke to all people be they Jewish or not. He is an inspiration to all and a giant in Judaism who explained to the World the how and what of Judaism.
This is such a good class. Rabbi Weisblum is so right about the poor teaching in some Christian churches, especially in America on prosperity, punishment and reward etc; it is based on such a superficial reading of a few passages in the Old Testament and also completely ignores the New Testament teachings on poverty. I am happy to say most Christian churches do not teach this simplistic, selfish nonsense. It's a real pleasure to listen to such a deep teaching on the subject.
Rabbi Dr. Weisblum...As the end of this 5779 year draws near, I want to take a moment to let you know how very much I have appreciated having you as my online Rabbi for my Judaic learning. I am thankful for all that I have learned through your interesting and informative online classes. I am also just as appreciative of your obvious caring and concern for all of your worldwide students, including me. It has meant so much to have a brilliant Rabbi like you. I am in Australia so I hope our paths will cross soon, and perhaps I will have the privilege of being your student in face to face class.
Thank you & yishar koach HaRav Weisblum for a great lecture! The point referred to, by all, regarding Judaism as whether individualistic or collective. The most important point is perhaps. No mater how one may have connected as Jewish, the actual participating and doing the ancient ritual is the essence of what kept Jewish survival continuing this long.
The book of Job is not about suffering at all. It is about God telling us that righteous men do exist and that Job is an example of one. Then Job tells us how to be a righteous individual while his friends claim it is impossible to be righteous. I don't understand how Christians can claim a person can be righteous when God himself calls Job righteous and then Job tells us exactly what that looks like to be righteous.
Brilliant! Thank you Rabbi Weisblum for this informative and extraordinary lecture. You are a leading intellectual, a stupendous scholar and a world-renowned yet humble teacher. It is a great privilege to learn from your incredible knowledge and wisdom.
When some Jews say, 'This is not the way we think in Judaism,' the statement is ambiguous. Why? Because Judaism is not homogeneous; every Jew has their own perspective depending on the period of time they are living in. For example, a Jew in 2024 might not believe in Hell, whereas a Jew in 950 might have believed in Hell. Thus, Judaism is not a single, unchanging system from Sinai to the present day. The same applies to Christianity. For example, you say that Satan is a prosecutor of God. I find that to be a good statement. However, let's also consider the Book of Enoch. This book reflects a stream in Judaism that believed in a rebellion of angels against God and humanity. Let's look what the Zohar says about the fallen angels: Zohar 1:25b-26a: "Rabbi Yitzhak said: The sons of Elohim are Aza and Azael, who descended to Earth in the days of Jared and fathered the Nephilim. They were the ones who sinned with the daughters of men and taught them all the forbidden arts..."
The thanks is for you Rabbi. To listen and to learn from you this is a privilege thank you very much.

Agree. Wonderful Words of Wisdom coming from one of the wisest men of our age - Rabbi Weisblum
Superb shiur
Extraordinary lecture!
Evangelicals have it backwards. God prays to us, to do His will. If we listen, He is there with us. If we follow, we can walk with Him.
Rabbi Weisblum, a leading intellectual and a powerful voice for Judaism today.

As I understood it said here, Job while righteous did not do for others. How can this be said in light of Job 29:12-17?
Great lecture. I’m curious as to how some would feel about the idea that “god’s” word was so easily amended over time.
