My heart is full of joy when I listen his words!
God bless Rabbi Abraham Twerski.
I am not Jewish, but i follow and listen to Rabbi Twerski any day, any time. He is a clarify to life.
I have never listened too much to any Rabbi out there, but this is definitely the one that makes you open your heart and ears and mind, he is such a great teacher - may Hashem bless you and enlarge your territory, so others may be blessed by Hashem through you Rabbi.
Rabbi Twerski, of blessed memory, was one of 'my rabbis'.
Thank you for sharing these videos, where I get to hear Rabbi Doctor Twerski's words which bring more life to the ones I've read for so long.
What a wise man! Opens my eyes!
Best Rabbi ever, may Hashem blessings overpower for the rest of your life
Thank you Rabbi and doctor You are really helping us.
Rabbi, thank you for telling me what I have already felt but needed to hear from a person of wisdom. This is why I moved back to CBJ and G-D willing I will be happy and get closer to HaShem. Thank you so very much. Sheri Goldberg
Very inspiring. G-D Bless you.
Everyone should do something nice for someone like holding the door open or carrying someone's baggage for them.
You are my way of connecting with G-d. Thank you!
Lovely. Thank you
Thank you rabbi
Bless you and bless your words. Unity of all people .

Missed it. Unity for Jews. That's what is important. The second Temple was destroyed due to baseless hatred amongst Jews, the will be built upon a foundation of love of Jews for Jews. The rest of the world will be a concern afterwards.
Great message.

I wish you a good day Dr. Twersky.
Thank you.
Love your program. I am muslim we believe the same as you. God of Abraham Issac and Jacob. The main thing in all reliogn is to worship one God and as dear rabbi said it beautifully we are one from one soul God almighty with one purpose to live by his law if we really want to enjoy our life in this world and hereafter. God bless all especially rabbi, doctor Abraham twerski.

No, missed it. Jews are, not non-Jews. That part takes work. It doesn't happen naturally. We have to start with peaceful co-existence, build from there. We don't 'believe the same things'. Judaism is a relationship with G-d, dating back to Abraham, telling us in the Torah about G-d from his "lips", what He does and doesn't want from us. I don't "know" what Islam is, only that it's a religion. Judaism is not.
I love this video.

Dear Mr. Twerski. For some time i´ve been seen your videos on youtube and find them full of wisdom and heartwarming. I dont know a lot about many things and i would like to understand from your perspective , something i heard on this video that its common on almost all the reigions i heard about and this is : "love your neighbor as yourself" its only for those who have our own believes or encompasses all the humanity as neighbors of the world?? with all due respect sir

This direction was given to Jews, telling us how to treat other Jews. Once we've mastered that we can concentrate on others outside our community. I think that's the truth about most societies, beginning with families. Treat each other as you want others to treat you. The idea of 'love' is too much to expect for strangers. Too many people treat those they supposedly 'love' far worse than strangers. Has to have a different "base" of civility, respect, courtesy, etc.

@@AsadAli-jc5tg how very accepting of you, a few friends, yet you say an anti-Semitic comment. Jews are Israel, complicated a relationship as it is. Israel, given to us by G-d, is for Jews. You have just enough knowledge to have contempt for us. Terrific. The teaching is about baseless hatred. It caused the destruction of the Second Temple. The Third Temple, to be built by Moshiach, can't happen until we eradicate it. That's why it's "so important" to us. The rest of the world will benefit from Moshiach, so it's not "all about us".
Serious mistake in captioning. Rabbi Twerski said Haman, in the Book of Esther. My closed captioning erroneously (and dangerously) transcribed Haman as Mohammed. Is there any way to notify KZread of Captioning errors?
Thank you for a piece of wisdom. However, I met Jewish businessmen who would do whatever they are capable of doing to get profit. They did not give a shit about other people’s interests or feelings. Unfortunately haven’t met a Jewish businessman who would stick to this fundamental principle of Judaism...

Unfortunately you haven't met all businessmen who are Jews. Read the story of Aaron Feuerstein. His mill, in MA, went on fire before the holidays. While rebuilding, he not only paid his workers for months out of his own pocket, he gave them a Christmas bonus. We're not all awful. If you look at us that way, that's all you'll see which is why it's called prejudice, judging individuals as a group. Non-Jews are profit hungry too though that probably doesn't bother you. Yet you're here on a Chassidic channel hearing the words of a wonderful rabbi who was also a doctor. Not a money hungry one, a "what's best for his patient" one. A businessman. A moral one. Realize that Rabbi Twerski was talking to Jews, how to treat each other. We're not always as kind and accepting of other Jews as we should be. Non-Jews can be treated better. That might not bother you either. Bothers us.
Good idea. Random Acts of Kindness as at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Resorts is bonding indeed.

This idea shocks you? It was given to Jews, about Jews. The Second Temple was destroyed due to baseless hatred. Whose? Jews for other Jews. G-d showed us that the coming of Moshiach would not happen until baseless hatred amongst Jews stopped. Moshiach will build the Third Temple. Moshiach is coming, for the benefit of the world, when Jews and non-Jews each complete our mission from G-d. Jews to bring heaven down to earth, non-Jews to bring earth to heaven. Part of ours is focused within our community. Loving amongst Jews is loving within a family. We were told not to mistreat strangers, since we were strangers ourselves, not to "love" them. That teaching has been appropriated and twisted to where it is. How can people "love" people they don't know? Being real about it, people barely tolerate people they don't know. Like them? Respect them, their differences? If you start with family, for Jews which were talking specifically about here, we have to love Jews for existing, for being part of our community, our family. The rest of people we're to treat as we want to be treated. Unfortunately our history has had far too much mistreatment, abuse, etc, from non-Jews.

We are to raise ourselves above our instincts to G-dliness. Jews are told to assist our enemies, hoping one day to become friends. How can bridging gaps happen if someone doesn't offer their hand across the divide? We're told to rise above, not sink lower. If Jews didn't believe this we wouldn't talk to a whole long list of people who have mistreated us, tried to kill us, tried to force conversion on us, etc. Probably not a civilization without something, so we'd be an island where? Doing what to repair the world for G-d? It's all for Him, not us.

Phooey. We're talking about Jews and Jews. The rest of the world is important though our community has to heal from within. Has to do with Moshiach. No outsiders are involved. Just like a family heals from within.
I have a message that I’m sharing where I can, some may not want to hear this, but I ask that we stay polite and seek truth together. 😊 ..... Love is an action. Feed the hungry, house the homeless, father the orphan, and protect the defenseless and vulnerable. Read the Word for yourself, not only relying on others for guidance. Pray for guidance.Yahushua/Yeshua - His Hebrew name who is usually called (Jesus) taught to keep the whole Word. Including the Law/Torah. Matthew 5:17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not [g]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [h]others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [i]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Read 1 John. John tells us that sin is lawlessness, and that we must keep the commandments. Trust in the atonement of Yahushua/Yeshua who is usually called Jesus, and keep God (YHWH)'s whole Word/commandments. Revelation 12:17 So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

You don't have respect or you'd post Christian doctrine where it's appreciated, not here. Simple respect. Can't get to 'love' without it. All of the hype of 'love one another's is useless without it. So for all of your understanding of what G-d us you missed the boat with disrespect here. Prostheletize elsewhere. We're not changing.

Does it matter? Not what Jews think about. Repairing the world for G-d is our focus. Rabbi Twerski's 'ideas' are Judaism. He's teaching. Reminding us what Jews are to do to advance the coming of Moshiach, which is to end baseless hatred amongst Jews. Remember the destruction of the Second Temple due to baseless hatred among Jews? Others we treated fine. It's ourselves that we struggle more with. Isn't that the way it happens? Outsiders to your family, no issues can't be accepted. Family? Can have hatred and divides. Who's 'spreading hate'?

First, Palestine is not a legitimate place, it's what became Israel. The two aren't really separate though in their attempts to overrun Israel, it's "sectioned off". They want us not to exist or don't you know that? There is no post Torah time, when Jews were the aggressors, anywhere. Defense isn't aggressive. It's reactive. We don't seek to conquer or destroy. It's against G-d's mitzvahs (commandments). The Arabs/Muslims want to eliminate us, Israel. Would that be acceptable to you? G-d gave Israel to Jews. Man can't take it away, can't extinguish us, can't usurp our mission from G-d, all of which has been attempted.
So…this is what Israei is doing EXACTLY that to Palestinians 😱

Wee not a 'religion'. We're a relationship with G-d, that's it. Him, all about Him. What G-d wants/needs from us. No "benefit" for us. No trip to heaven since that's not our goal. No virgins, nothing. A close relationship with G-d. For its own sake. Religions offer "rewards". .what Rabbi Twerskk was talking about, almost pleading with Jews to do, is to help advance the coming of Moshiach. To stop the baseless hatred which caused the destruction of the Second Temple. The Third Temple should be built on baseless love of other Jews. The rest of the people are treated better than we treat each other sometimes. The world will benefit from the coming of Moshiach so it's not self centered.
Wrong... idol worshiping is a deal breaker. That's not what God said in the Torah about the central teaching of Judaism... The single most important thing in the Torah is that *"The Lord our God, is one Lord. you must serve Him with all your heart all your strength"* ..Being nice and good and friendly to parents and fellow humans comes second .... However if you serve/worship idols or associate partners with God (like Trintarian Christians), or deny God ( like atheists), then you are in a deep trouble, and no doubt you will be answerable for it, whether you be a Jew a Christian or a Muslim or any other prophetic religion.. no matter how nice you are to your neighbors it wont help you. Your only way to repent to God before it is too late, and follow that with many good deeds. Yes love one another, live in peace, but that doesn't mean you deceive each other by concealing the truth just to make some wrong doer happy.

You don't decide what G-d accepts and doesn't. He does. He told Jews exactly what Rabbi Twerski said. Don't want to believe it? Don't. Telling Jews that religion that came after Judaism is humorous. Judaism is a relationship with G-d. That's it. No "payoff" except knowing Him. I think then we listen to (every sabbath), study, examine, etc, every word from the Torah, since it's from G-d.

Oh you are very disrespectful to a very special man, unfortunately deceased since 2021. The concept of 'love' falls to pieces from there. G-d gave the Torah to Jews in order for us to do what He wants/needs us to do. Share the teachings? Yes. We have 613 mitzvahs(commandments), non-Jews have about 300. Know them? They start with the 7 Noahide Laws. Know them? Your tone is mean and nasty for what reason I don't know. Jews, especially rabbis like Rabbi Twerski, study Judaism their whole life, only Rabbi Doctor Twerski went further. He became a doctor, both a surgeon I believe, and an acclaimed substance abuse counselor. His life was devoted to his fellow man, not only to his fellow Jew. Before casting mud and throwing boulders at him, you should know who he was. Walk a mile in his shoes. Have you done as much for your fellow man?
