Very inspiring...

I am a qualified meat retailer (shop butcher) and non Jewish. I have a fondness for learning and knowing about Jewish culture, customs and other interesting aspects.

Rabbi Medel Kaplan blew the socks off my feet with this powerful lecture regarding the sciatic nerve and the angel.
I hung onto every word and often 'played back' to get the full meaning of the script.

Thank you very much for a wonderful and thought provoking insight about kosher meat.

our enemies

I liked the point you made about the Esauites being our enemies, and NOT the Ishmaelites. As a Jewish woman who has survived half of my family being systematically killed by church persons; only my two daughters and I survived. The reason we survived was because of Saudis and non-church Jordanians who risked their lives for us. This happened in the present day. I am living proof as a Jewish person that what you said in your lecture is true.

Fascinating!

Your teaching "every detail decision we make in every moment of our live is the end in itself" gives me inspiration to practice what is right with joy. And it is fascinating to know that one mitzvah has such a heavy background.
