I wonder Rabbi Dr. Wolf how you could be angry as a youth except that perhaps your anger reflected the wrath of G-d which brought you into the realm of the fear of G-d, which was for you the beginning of the wisdom you have been given…for me in His wrath there was love, marvelously so. Thank you for your words and testimony! Reply

Shalom Rabbi Dr. Laibel Wolf...one of the reasons I lead an observant Jewish (Chabad style) life today is the talk you gave us girls in the library of Beth Rivka college. You told a story within a story concentrically...I had never heard a talk like that before...you also said that 1 person could influence another, who could influence another, until it would be universal. I was about 15 or 16, (1971-2-3? ) and I was skeptical about that point, not considering myself orthodox at that stage. I was also at a camp where you and your wife were the presiding adults and you taught a tune for Yedid Nefesh which i still try to sing Friday nights.
If you can contact me personally through Chabad.org which has my email I would be grateful because I have an important message from someone for you, someone who has since passed on. Reply

Hello,

I normally listen to another program in the morning from Chabad.org. and follow you on other days and times. But, this morning your program popped up with an interesting title and interview. So, I listened and enjoyed every message from the rabbi. It answered many questions I needed answered about myself and sons. Also, I was happy to hear that a non-Jewish person (like me) can learn so much on how to get their life in order, marriage relationships right, and parenting skills correct to lead their children (young or adults) down correct paths by studying The Torah which is G_d’s manual to become a successful human being with a positive connection with our source of energy and life.
Again, thank you for this morning’s inspirational interview.

Peace,
Deborah Reply

Chana,

Thank you for bringing us another amazing weekly video interview. The variety and richness of each person’s story is a bracha, which helps us learn and continue to grow our appreciation of our Yidishkeit.

This gentleman’s chronology, starting with his challenging beginning, through his present, and all in between, is brilliant. His story and experiences are fantastic.

I was especially intrigued by his statement about the high percentage of Jews immersed in Buddhism, along with his encounter with the Dalai Lama, who opined how Buddhism was good for Jews.

Perhaps if Jews today would be more receptive to Torah learning, also Tanya study, this would preclude their searching for external stimuli, as compared with learning about, and appreciating the greatness of their own neshamas.

Chana, your summary-comments of the interview at its conclusion are great!

Thank you as always for these weekly gems. Reply
