    The thing about the shame, it is true. Read baal haturim commentary on the beginning of parashat vayera

    Rabbi,

    I know it has been 4 years since this lecture but do you have the secular references?

    Thanks so much

    שאלה

    שלום הרב ג'יקובסון

    השיעורים שלך מדהימים. מאז ש'גיליתי' אותך, היהדות היא בעלת משמעות אדירה.

    השאלה היא על הפסוק "כי ה' אלוקיך אש אוכלה הוא א-ל קנא

    תודה רבה

    Hashem says WOW, you're still here with the soup!  And then he'll add, and it (you) is still hot!

          Thank you so much!

          i loved every one of these classes!

          aperantly there are many ppl that are scared of moshiach coming.

          i told them this metaphor, and they where all moved.

          all of them wanted to hear it from you, but they speak only Hebrew - so couldnt understand.

          is there a short video with only this question and answer, with hebrew subtitles?

          it could help many many ppl.

          i would love to get it if there is, so I could pass it on.

          thanks
