More recent is his Jewish Meditation video series, guiding the viewer through simple exercises for meditation in Jewish prayer. Rabbi Freeman is director of Chabad.org’s Ask The Rabbi service, a team of responding "rabbis that care."

God Love

Tzi, this is superb piece of divine writing, in every day language.

Condensing it, here is the essence

"perhaps there is more to the miracle of life than survival. Perhaps life has a more profound meaning, as a work of art has more meaning than strokes of color upon canvas. Perhaps, as art provides a window upon the soul of the artist, life provides a window upon the soul of G‑d. Only that the core essence of G‑d cannot be known except through the window of paradox, of an insane union of opposites becoming one, while all the time remaining opposites."

Patrilineal descent

First, thanks for your scholarly responses. I want to preface my final remark with something I find quite interesting and I feel strengthens my points on patrilineal descent; It is only through the Jewish male Y chromosome ( I hope I have that right) that it can be determined how much actual "Jewish" lineage existis in that particiular family. It is an on line lecture and he ends by saying (I'm paraphrasing) " Alot of you of Ashkenazic descent will not be pleased with what I'm about to say. The evidence thus far indicates the vast majority of Ashkenazic Jewry descend from a Middle Eastern male and a gentile female...So by the standard of normative Judaism, most Askhenazim, would not considered even to be Jewish..." I believe that Hashem through science is pointing us towards the truth. Only through the Father's genetics can Jewish lineage be charted. Please don't denigrate science here because Israel has used it in the case of Ethiopian Jewry. Thank You.

Thankyou

I am not Jewish but try to follow Jewish law as a Christian. I have learned more here in a few days then I have learned in church. Because of your wisdom and perspective my family is stronger. I would also like to say on a side note to kosher dietary laws I think a good reason for it might be the health aspect. I lost 20 pounds on it, I feel great! Though I have to confess I do cheat on taco night:(

I am not Jewish, but I know that our Jewish people are a light unto the world. I think these messages you send out every day are amazing. They are one of the messages that I look for first going through over 30 emails a day.
Sometimes they are so 'deep' that I have to go to 'Ask A Rabbi' just to understand what I've read about 10-15 times.
I love reading these messages every day. I pray you Never Stop posting them!!
Coming to you with love.

Jewels and Gems

Every morning the Daily Dose is part of my prayer and meditation time. It has taken me deeper into the heart of G-d and I can feel the changes in me as I grow in my relationship with Him. Thank you Rabbi Freeman; the wisdom found within the Daily Dose is like finding a priceless treasure of jewels and gems.
