Rabbi Wolpe, Where is your demonstration of faith in Hashem's Torah by eating treif, being mechallel shabbos and your wife not going to the mikvah? And why do you keep quoting goyishe philosophers? Nietsche & Dostoyevsky? Are you for real? You call yourself a "Rabbi" when you didn't open a Chumash at all during your speech? Your type of "Judaism" is dying out and won't exist much longer. All you care about is your career and not the future of Reform & Conservative Jews.
@charlotteamalie This Rabbi understands that the Law you worship is not the same God he worships. You need to see the difference between abiding by the law and becoming a servant to it. You are a servant to the law, which means you are breaking God's law.
@discoqueen1970 -Moses, the greatest Jew who ever lived, was given the title: "Eved Hashem" which means, "Servant of G-d". Very few people ever since were given this title.
@charlotteamalie . Let me rephrase.When you stick to the letter of the law, you end up by breaking the very same law.You judge, you have no right to judge. There is only One Judge. You look down your nose at others, you have no right, only God can say if that person stinks or not. Moses served God properly, we do not. Moses understood God's law, we don't. Do you bear false witness,sure you do. Do you lie,sure you do. We all do. Don't live by the law, use it to make yourself a better human being
I'm not the one being judged here. Wolpe is a Rabbi and he purports to represent "Judaism", yet he obviously ignore the basic tenets of the religion: kashrut, shabbat, mikva. Just look at him: he is BAREHEADED. How can you say that I am the one bearing false witness when I'm not the one standing in front of goyim with a bare head, confessing to eating traif and whose wife doesn't go to the mikva. Wolpe is bearing false witness for Judaism. He claims to be Jewish yet lives like a goy.
Hi dear Rabbi~ you do not want to miss Andrew Wommack's teaching at awm (dot) net Click 2010 Archives (left column) & choose Week 5 Jan 31 Hardness of Heart (disregard title, I promise this is on point) This is a whole week of broadcasts & clicking the 1st one plays all 5, so click the last one: "Gospel Truth TV - February 4, 2011." You can always go back & play the whole series, just don't miss Feb 4. This is what we miss & why: lack of consideration & meditation on the supernatural.~gg

wolpe's a good guy. but all religious people, like he, get caught up on the question of self identity and chance. he was born into a jewish family. ask him if he would have discovered and be sure of all this stuff if he had been born in china? chances are not.
@jloo222 Unlike a lot of religious people, Wolpe doesn't insist that HIS path is the only path to God or the Divine or whatever you want to call it. He always says that there are MANY paths. So, to address you point: had he been born in China, yes, chances are he wouldn't have been Jewish, BUT! -- that doesn't mean he wouldn't have found a different path -- a China-friendly one -- to a spiritual life.
Hi Albie, I certainly don't want to start a holy war here (literally :) ) but why I think he is so wise is not because he accepts all religions as paths to God. I believe if he did, he would not be a Rabbi. I think the reason he is so wise is that he does not show disrespect to any religions and is more than willing to point out how religion is a tempering force and the good aspects of any religion. Just my two cents worth.
@johnmresler I don't see where we disagree. I never claimed he accepts all religions as paths to God -- in fact, I've never heard him say that. I was simply repeating what he HAS said (and written), which is that there is not only one path to God. I think this is something he genuinely believes, since he says it a lot. And I agree with you that he demonstrates great wisdom by not showing disrespect to other religions. So, no worries about a holy war! Be well. :)
I believe there is a fault in your argument. He may not have grown up Jewish but it is certainly possible that he would have grown Buddhist or Christian or Islamic (there are small groups of Christians/Islamics in China). In short, China may be communist but it is certainly untrue that China is not religious.
@jloo222 I know this is a year later but, I could not resist. If you are called by God, whether a Priest, Rabbi, Pastor, or Buddhist, it does not matter where you are born, you are called and you go.
@jloo222 - Part of Jewish belief is believing in the existance of "Hashgacha Pratit" which means divine intervention. No matter where a person is born or to whom he is born, if he was meant to become a "ger" (convert), he will find his way home. In the book "The Bamboo Cradle", a Taiwanese girl is adopted by a Jewish family and she becomes an Orthodox Jewish wife and mother. Hashgacha Pratit. G-d is not interested in quantity (as in all the Chinese people), but quality.
That is also true of atheists. Atheists are very emotional. Militant or evangelical atheists if they truly wanted to lead society away from religious faith because it's bad would create their own "community", make it successful--as they would define it--and people would be drawn to it. Their attacks on relgion only confirm religious peoples' faith. The only folk anti-theists win over are those in the academic bubble.
well.... you can condiser yourself lucky in the sense that even unde great physical and emotional stress as is experiencing an illness and the resulting turmoil surrounding this condition..... you have the spiritual capacity to mantain focussed on faith and this can help you go through chemotherapy.... I guess this is what I would be lucky for, for "having something to hold on to during the storm"
I agree that one can be lucky in the sense that experiencing some sort of suffering, inthis case an illness ,enabbles us to each into our humanity and spirituallity and have a better perspective of live and ourselves, therefore transforming and trascending our soul.
I enjoyed very much your conference. I watched it because I love to read about religions (I'm Catholic). By coincidence, I am undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer, and I will try to consider myself lucky, even though it is hard. Regards
