Like I said. You lost me at some point. You've seen what this products. We need to get at things from a totally different angle. Reply

wow! I actually learnt a lot from these videos. Especially this one. I never knew that angels wait for thousands of years to do what I can do anytime of day or night. Now I realized how amazing it is to daven everyday and now I realized how much better I can do it! Thank you for an extremely valuable lesson rabbi Freeman! Reply

Wow! If only we could turn on cartoon network and see this kind of programming instead of the shows our children are fed! Reply

showing a hand Assuming the Jewish Press was following a valid halachic opinion, there might be opinions that allow a hand represent God's hand. I remember specifically the cartoon that accompanied the story of Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa and the hand that gave a golden table leg. (Taanis 24b)

"One day the wife of R. Hanina said to him: "How long shall we yet be troubled with the want of our daily bread?" And he replied: "What can I do?" Said she: "Pray to God that He should give thee something." He accordingly went and prayed. A hand came forth and gave him a leg of a golden table." Reply

That's Funny! Thank You I just loved it.By the way...
I'll take the sphere of light. I know it is only a representation. I am happy you did not use a lightbulb, and don't worry about the finger either because people are all ways using the fickel finger of fate to let you know what is on there mind without any hesitation.Now that's another KabbalahToon.

sun - light - graphic represntation of G-d?? a sphere of light to indicate G-d seems to be wrong; G-d is everywhere .. this should be represented differently. Reply

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman April 3, 2011

Re: The finger It definitely would be forbidden to draw any representation of any body parts for G-d. We use just plain light to indicate G-d's presence in a scene. The finger is in no way meant to represent G-d. Usually, it's a secretary that calls you in, not the Boss Himself. Reply

The finger If I'm not mistaken, it IS an action of Kefira to make G-d have a finger...But I could be wrong, because maybe that is not G-d's finger.
Thank you Reply
