    To those people who are insisting that god is the only purpose, or that he's offending some other religion or atheists, please watch it again. He says god may be a purpose, which as a holy man he is of course going to feel. He only says 'may' though, and then goes on to discuss purpose broadly with a variety of ideas. He's being a wise thoughtful guy and so I'm astonished that people can manufacture any kind of offence from this. I'm a lifelong atheist and I think he's wholly right, and a wonderful human being.

    i like this rabbi. he looks like the typical rabbi or rebbe; however, his language is quite approachable, simple and concise. there is also something or much humble about him. there's also the fact that his english doesnt have the expected strong yiddish or hebrew accent some of them have that somehow makes them a bit aloof.

      Hi Billy, I edit a philosophy magazine, and the consensus of contributors, atheist or theist who comment on this issues, seems to be that you find purpose by investing your life in something bigger than yourself. Do ehat to you is the most important cause that is beyond yourself? Eg environment, poverty, injustice, truth.... Try putting more of yourself into that for six months, and see where that gets you.

    It is very difficult to find the purpose in life. It is something I have been searching for since I became conscious about this topic, and the more I think about the more I cannot find it for any of us really. We live as long as we do, and then we just simply die. And the what? Those before us have died, those after us will die and so on and so forth. I feel like there is no really reasons for existence. For example, you study, you study to pass a test or to learn something. If you clean your house, you clean so that you can live in a nice environment where you would not get sick and where you would not feel uncomfortable because who likes to live in "dirty"? When you work, you work to make money. When you make money you buy a house, car , food, etc. So eveything we do, all these "little" tasks have SOME purposes but what is our main and most important purpose as humans? I can't seem to find the answer... And the fact that we will just simply die one day and that's it, nothing?! Oh no man, I can't deal with these thoughts...seriously 🤦‍♀️

    Religion was created ,.or ends up being "to hold bondage." Grace makes and faith takes. A relationship with Christ Jesus keeps me from yoking with pride, prejudice and hate.

Once I figured out God loved me first then it was and still is to love others outside of my comfort zone. All is Well.

    • @apollocreed1000
      @apollocreed1000 4 роки тому

      He's referring to an important concept in Judaism which is that the more you help a person or give them, the more you feel love for them, because you have invested of yourself (whom naturally you love) into that person. You can therefore create love within yourself for people to whom you had no previous feelings by giving to them.
      A proof for this is that God designed the words in Hebrew that mean "give" and "love" to have the same grammatical root "Hav” (give) and "Ahav" (love).
      It's based upon a teaching by Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler in his writings from the 1930s:
      www.aish.com/ci/s/The-Three-Greatest-Mistakes-People-Make-About-Love.html?mobile=yes
