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. Her immediate reaction was, “What can we do?” First of all, I told her to watch the course and we’ll tell her what to do. But her immediate response was that we have to write letters, we have to try to contact them, and I think that our immediate response to watching these anti-Semitic actions, seeing what’s happening in the world, is to do something, act. It’s very important to know what the right action is, otherwise we’re [in neutral] and we see no change. I wonder what she might say about what we’re going to watch now. We have another clip for you. If the one last week made you feel uncomfortable, this one is really disturbing. Let’s just watch it and keep talking afterwards....

Lesson 1: Introduction – “What Does It Mean To Be Jewish Today?” Course

Lesson 1: Introduction [With Chaim and Gilad]   Chaim Ratz: Hello. We’re happy to be with you. It’s our first session of a course that is called “What Does It Mean to Be Jewish Today?”  Interesting topic, huh? Gilad: Very interesting topic, and we’d love for you to be as active as possible. You have a question and answer forum on the website and we’ll take your questions live. So throughout the lesson—anything, any questions you have, anything you want to find out, you want to discuss—please post it in the Q&A forum. 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 in the scheme of things. It’s a very serious and a very central position that Jews take in this scheme. In light of the fact that everything he has predicted in this book which was published a year and a...
