Kabbalah and economics
A very clear teaching that outlines the Chabad position on Kabbalah and Economics with relation to the current crisis.

I do agree with the above statement about the sexist jokes. I am male, but found them offensive and a distraction from the important message you gave. Climate change is one of those topics that does not need politicizing and given that in Bereishit Rabbah, G-d even warns mankind to not destroy the environment, you would think Chabad would go a little softly softly instead of giving lip service to views held by the likes of the Conservative American Media.

baruch shem kovod malchuso....
What a thrill it is to hear someone commenting on the decadent standards of remuneration this society....an actress works for 2 months on a movie and makes 20 million dollars, the ball-player mentioned in this talk. As a school teacher, I wont even see a movie in a theatre because that industry is so obscene (unless it's Star Trek!!!!). And then they're giving each other award after award. How many are there now? I am also gratified to hear what I have long suspected, the idea that it all had to come falling down because it was rotten to the core. Excellent talk.

kabbalah
thank you, but I think you could have made your point without the sexist jokes in the beginning, they only detract from your message. further the global warming comment awas also a political comment and not worthy of chabad.

I can't hear you...
Can your comments on kabbalah and the economic meltdown solve the problem (or at least explain the problem) that my laptop's audio-whatever doesn't work, and right now I don't want to lay out the cash to replace or repair?

I'm sure it was great...

Thank you for your brilliant explanation of why things are the way they are today, and thank you, for explaining that there is hope for a brighter future. This is the first time I have heard you speak and I hope to hear more soon on Chabad,org.

Kabbalah on the Economic Meltdown
The world is experiencing an economic meltdown of historic proportions, with no end in sight. Jewish mystical traditions teach a mind-boggling idea: that everything occurring in the physical world is caused by a spiritual reality that precedes it.
