What Good Is Ancient Jewish Wisdom? Dec 01, 2023

Show notes

Many mistakenly believe that the proliferation of regulations and laws are evidence of a society's sophistication and advance. In reality, that is like saying that all the medications in an old man's medicine chest are evidence of his good health. Preserving a functioning family or a successful society is hard and mostly depends on a rare array of tools. In this show, your rabbi provides a guide to those tools. Are you thinking about making next year different from last year? Here is a very useful resource to look into: https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/chart-your-course-e-book-video-bundle/ Useful insights into clothing.

Why They Fight. Why You Are In This Fight. Like It Or Not Nov 17, 2023

Show notes

Your rabbi confesses that there are aspects of the Islamic struggle for world domination that he admires; not likes, not values, not commends and not approves, but admires. You will learn why considering this a struggle between Islam and Democracy is childish. Why Moslems fight among themselves. Why the Palestinian issue will never be solved by a bureaucrat with a map and a pencil. Why the hideous savagery of October 7th? Why they die in Gaza? What happened to the Red Cross and the kidnapped Jews in the dark Gazan tunnels? Political power today is achieved by appeals to the heart, not the head. How democracy leads to tyranny. But in all of this, live a good life by focusing on your 5Fs and study the roadmap to a good life, The Holistic You. https://bit.ly/TheHolisticYouBook. Because regardless of the storms that swirl around the borders of your life, you can rise and prosper by retaining a laser-like focus on your 5 Fs.

How Do You Find a Morality Matrix? Where Do They Come From? Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

In this show, we answer the puzzling paradoxes in the previous show. Even the most baffling behavioral enigmas surrender to a coherent moral matrix. A moral matrix answers questions in four main areas: Family, Finance, Friendships, and Fitness. A moral matrix is not time-dependent; what was moral years ago will still be moral in years to come. Could a moral matrix emerge by itself in an isolated society? Why do secular/socialistic regimes never endure for very long? Read about Scrolling through Scripture and listen to a lesson for free now! https://tinyurl.com/43z9e23e Discover the connection between a country's legal system and its underlying moral matrix.

Do You Have a Clear Morality Matrix? If Not, You Make Many Unnecessary Mistakes Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

Much of what you say flows subconsciously from your morality matrix. Many of your decisions are made based on your morality matrix. If you don't have one, you are making a whole bunch of damaging mistakes in your life. With a proper functioning morality matrix you make far fewer mistakes and life is more joyful. With no morality matrix, or worse, a broken one, you are making decisions in finance, romance, and socially that will come back and bite you—if they haven't already done so. Morality is not like a toddler learning to walk. Gaining one is not automatic. A functioning morality matrix is like calculus, cooking or car repair. Unless you make the effort to acquire them, you won't have them. There are more than one morality matrix available. Did you ever deliberately and purposefully choose yours? Do you and your spouse share a morality matrix? If not, God help you! Your morality matrix is not confined to your faith. How well you are doing with Family, Finances, and Friendships has much to do with the existence and condition of your morality matrix. The deeper and inescapable truth about the 2023 Israeli war is revealed here: Clash of Destiny https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/clash-of-destiny-instant-download/ Is it true that violence never solves anything? Where did civilization come from? Finally, understand the distinction between Civilization and Barbarism in terms of the same 5Fs that are transforming your life https://bit.ly/TheHolisticYouBook. Are there barbarians who dress in a suit and tie and teach other barbarians about gender studies in universities? Is it moral to kill in self-defense? Is it moral to kill one person to save the lives of five? Is it moral to steal medicine for a desperately ill patient? These and many more.

Day Eleven. The War Heats Up. Report from Jerusalem. Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

A young man says goodbye to his father and goes off to war. Why is this war different from every other ethnic conflict? Why can this one not be resolved by dividing the territory down the middle? Your rabbi is still in Israel. Why is the notorious Two State Solution, beloved by silly politicians, never going to be? Does Islam hate Christianity more than Christians love it? How many times has Islam tried to conquer Europe and turn it into part of the Moslem world? Why did Gazans in 2005 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did the Nazis in 1938 destroy millions of panes of glass? Why did rioters, thugs and looters (Sorry, I meant to say "protestors") in 2020 destroy millions of panes of glass in American cities?

Your Rabbi Reports on the War Live From Israel Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

The real purpose behind the Hamas mini-missiles. What is the atmosphere like right now on Israel's streets? What happened in my synagogue just outside Jerusalem when the sirens went off on Saturday morning. Comparing civilian mortality rates in Israel's Yom Kippur war fifty years ago with what happened on Saturday. The titanic struggle between civilization and barbarism. How long can Israel's economy withstand a mobilization of over a quarter million reservists? The Israel Defense Force in some cases took five hours to get to besieged communities suffering pogroms and massacres such as haven't been seen since the Nazis attempted genocide in World War 2.
