I was at one point a pauper, and the Rabbi who took me in managed not to make me feel the “bread of shame.” He had been a mashgiach at a wedding, served me a gourmet Chinese meal from the wedding, and, after driving the workers home, put me up in his house (I was harmless, and he could probably tell this), and made sure to give me a newly-blocked hat and a warm coat in the morning so that I would not be facing the raw March weather in New York unprepared. I have never forgotten him.
Thanks for watching this video. What are your thoughts on the questions and topics in this video?
Why did God create evil, darkness, suffering; and why good people suffer are some of the core questions people need to understand. This video presents answers to these questions and more based on the secrets of Kabbalah.
A friend of mine, a Lybian Jew, told me that his mother described evil as “unfinished good.” I liked this phrase and I have treasured it for decades.
@@yehoshuabenavraham9706 I also like it - thank you for sharing it with me.
Another way to look at LIFE & DEATH is that you need the latter in order to get to the former!
The word COME, is speaking from the DESTINATION point of view - while the word s GO TO, make reference to a point AWAY FROM the goal!
Seems correct. I think your comment is consistent with with the video.
The Road to Heaven & the Promise Land goes through nine Da at
hi, it seems like your comment is based on Kabbalah, but I don't understand it; can you explain?
@@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511 i ll try. a man must walk through every sefirah and in every sefirah must walk all stages. so he meet Da at nine times. from Da at of Malcut to Da at of Hochma. that means that nine times he meet the shadow of G d. the tsimtsum . sorry for my english. it s not my language
@@akislina2008 your English was fine, thank for your explanation.
all the best
@@divinewisdomliveabetterlif3511 i believe that the book of Job is the roadmap of Da at . do you agree ?
@@akislina2008 I agree in general - it teaches us many fundamental's of life
The Jewish viewer is directed to Rebbe Nachman’s Likkutei Moharan #64, which is an extended exposition on this verse.
בא אל פרעה..... come with me to pharoah
are you agreeing or disagreeing with the video?
Are we sure that yetzer hara is also in God’s plan? Or maybe it can mess God’s plans?
The yetzer hara’ was created by Hashem, and the Torah was created as its “tavlin” (condiment or antidote). Although the Sages say that Hashem “regrets” creating the yetzer hara’, (along with the Chaldeans, the Yishma’elim, and the Exile), they are absolutely clear that He created the yetzer hara’.
@@yehoshuabenavraham9706 The thing is, I was so unhappy( some say -happy) to see what yetzer hara is, had a touch of it. Right after Teshuva.
Came from outside. It is completely foreign to the creation we see outside, including us. It can only be a parasite.
The closest thing I can describe it is a fog that can get dense and consist of millions of hooks that. Penetrate human flesh, or a snake scales.
It is also similar to what is shown in a UA-cam 20min video called “rakka”.- that blob that flies behind the reptiles.
PS recently I have watched a video of Rabbi Yosef Shusterman where he quotes Alter Rebbe ( I believe) and according to Alter Rebbe - yetzer hare will be elevated in the time of Mashiach.
Who am I to debate Alter Rebbe?, I can only say that during those minutes of my Teshuva Me’HaAva all those different Graces from different levels of creation of tremendous Power and I believe from Elokut directly as well were blowing yetzer hara away, tearing it apart , pushing it away, but never transforming.
After that experience 20 years ago, I have been sure that the end of hara is destruction, never transformation.
@@yehoshuabenavraham9706 Hi, you gave an excellent and complete answer.
I only want to add my understanding of God's regret - it is not like human regret at all.
It can be understood the same way a surgeon may feel a level of regret because of the harshness and negativity involved in the medical procedure - while at the same time feels good about the positive results that will result from the procedure.
@@КлюевСергей-э5с Hi Again. I can't speak for the video you saw -
BUT Kabbalah explains that the higher level of the Yetzer Hare is like an Angel of God and and will continue to exist - but the lower level that is Evil will not.
I hope this helps
@@rabbiyitzchakbotton3764 Thank you, Rabbi.
Free will ? did pharoah have a choice ?
Hello, this idea is discussed and there are different ways to understand it. These are the main points:
At first Pharoah chose to be cruel to the Jewish People and was very stubborn about letting them go. Because of the level of his wicked deeds, God hardened his heart.
I think these are 2 ways to understand what hardening his heart means - 1) God didn't help him as he does with most people 2) Even though God made it harder to repent it was still possible (Lubavitcher Rebbe).
all the best
Some say that Pharaoh would have buckled under the plagues were it not that Hashem “strengthened” his heart and gave him back his original desire to refuse. Rather than taking away Par’oh’s choice, Hashem returned it to him in a situation that would otherwise have crushed his resolve.
Par’oh was also a firstborn son, and the only Egyptian firstborn to survive that plague. There is an opinion that he repented at the Splitting of the Sea, and there are those who say that he (or his gilgul) became the King of Nineveh who led his city to repent when Yonah the prophet came to that city centuries later (a Jewish prophet threatening destruction? Everyone repent!).
@@yehoshuabenavraham9706 Yes that is true. I actually have a video explaining this exact point. I'll give you the title if you want to search it on UA-cam WITHOUT the link, because when I include links, sometimes it doesn't post.
