Lesson 2: “What Does It Mean To Be Jewish Today?” Course
Lesson 2: The People of Israel’s Birth [With Chaim and Gilad] Chaim: Hello to you all. We’re glad to be here in the second lesson of Like A Bundle of Reeds, lessons to talk about the role of the Jewish people and anti-Semitism and why this is all happening—the lesson that explains really what we’re doing here, why everything is happening and… Gilad: …what we can do about it. I went to my parents’ house yesterday, and I told mother that she should watch the course. She was born and raised in Australia; her parents went there after the second world war. I showed her the clip we showed last week and she was in total shock. She wasn’t able to watch last week and I showed her the clip of the students in universities and she was in total shock of it.

We’ll be happy to open things up, to make it as interesting, as relevant as possible. How did we get to having a course on the meaning of being Jewish? This book, Like A Bundle of Reeds: Why Unity and Mutual Guarantee Are the Call of the Hour Today, this is the reason why we are here. I’ve been translating Dr. Laitman’s books for over ten years now and I’ve been the executive editor of Laitman Kabbalah Publishers for about that long as well, if not longer actually, and this is his most recent book that talks about this topic—about being Jewish. In this book he presents a very, I would say, serious prediction of the trend, the direction in which humanity is going and how it relates specifically to Jews and the role of Jews...
