Aren't we blessed? It has never been easier to have access to the prophets. All we have to do is listen to what the Rabbi has to say and here we are! In the presence of the Eternal, listening to His will for us, now. Thank you, Rabbi! Reply

hereditary prophesy Rabbi Raskin,

I found what you said to be very interesting relating to prophet. I was wondering if there was an answer to the question mentioned at the beginning, "is prophesy hereditary?'

Thank you Reply

Rabbi Raskin,

A very inspiring Video Lecture - this is Yisroel from "Soul Encounters." We met in the lobby,....:-).

I just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration you've given me during the course if the year through your Video Lectures. As a new Baal Teshuvah, and an aspiring Chassid, I'm always looking for that extra bit if emunah, to help me progress through my study and practice of Judaism. And your Video Lectures, with their incorporation of chassidus, kabbalah, and gematria help me do just that.

Thank you so so so much!!! And may G-d give you the strength and inspiration to keep up your work :-). Reply
