My name is Tamar Meisels. I am an Orthodox Jewish wife and mother living in Israel. I am a mom of 3 children, working full time in data. I love talking about values, Judaism, Israel, personal development, family tips and cooking. Pretty broad but stick with me... :)
1) world/universe made in/from hebrew is a late invention/myth of rabbinic judasism- it#s for people inclined to superstition 2) Moshe did not write in biblical hebrew (square)script 3) what did galuth guy Jehuda Halevi know? nothing real he's away from holiness in more than 2 dimensions he is spreading rabbinic superstition and myths (yes you can lie if this benefits believe in torah ask a real rabbi) .. and on and on please awake from myth into reality
This happened to me with my first got her flipped down just for her to flip back up before my next appointment 😒 had c section scheduled but so thankful for the doctors for offering to flip her again and induce me right away. She was born the next day vaginally. 😅 lil miss stubborn head 😂
Wow interesting story, they had to flip her again so happy it worked for you too 😊 reminds me, we were there a few breech appointments and a prof passing by said to us "oh you all are with the stubborn breeches?" 😂
As someone who is from Berlin, i know most of these words by heart and I use them on a daily bases, although I'm only half German and half Palestinian. You can also have chuzpe ;-)
I can't find this anywhere, but in my childhood, we used the word (forgive the spelling) "ungakacht" meaning all piled on and messy. Does anyone recognize this word? Thanks
I hope your fast was a meaningful time of drawing close to G-d! Could you explain what you do during the fast? As mothers, it’s hard to have time to sit and pray or study. I have only fasted once in my life and it wasn’t anything meaningful. 😢 I haven’t done it again because I don’t know what to do during it. Even as a Christian, it is assumed in the Christian Scriptures that we will fast. But I cannot recall one sermon ever explaining HOW to fast. (Beyond abstaining from food and drink.) Sorry for my late response!! Life is so hectic! My kids start school this week and I will start back work next week. Lots in my mind!! 🤯😊 ❤
Absolutely I know you must be crazy busy! Good luck with all the new beginnings 💕💕 Well Yom kippur there is a lot of prayers in synogoge and as young mom's we don't go to much. some moms feel we are missing out, but I think the time as a young mom will pass quickly and they can get back to shul going. Tisha bav there is less prayer time and kids can use electronics / color so it's different from Yom kippur which is like Sabbath. For me personally I don't fast very well especially exclusively breastfeeding.. so I try to get all the help I can with the other kids and wait for the fast to end 😲 hopefully getting at least some meaningful prayer time/ thought time. 💕
I am a Christian from Texas who began to visit Israel when I was 11 years old and went back regularly because I loved it. For a time, in high school, I was an exchange student in Germany. When I later studied Hebrew in seminary, I learned the story of Yiddish and found it easy. Many years later, I was employed as a hospital chaplain. After a brain tumor, my memory was not what it used to be but writing notes to refresh my memory when charting is dangerous because of HIPPA violations. Still, I needed to be able to keep notes and not have them understood by people who should not be able to read them. I briefly tried writing them in cuneiform but found that to be clumsy because I had not studied Sumerian sufficiently and because the writing system is just not efficient, especially with a pen. Then I remembered Yiddish. The tumor had lessened my proficiency in both Hebrew and German but, being Texas, I grew up speaking Spanish along with English. I had the bright idea of writing my notes out in Spanish but using Hebrew script. One day I was visiting a nice, elderly gentleman with the last name of Cohen. I asked if he wanted me to contact anyone for him and did my standard assessment. He then noticed the script I was writing in and, to my horror and amazement, was able to read and understand what I had written. He asked me how I had learned Ladino. I had never heard of Ladino before. He explained the Sephardic analog of Ashkenazi Yiddish. Those were terms I understood. He said that my vocabulary and syntax were strange but that I was writing Ladino. He too was a Texas native but his parents had come from Andalusia and the Levant. Fortunately, all I had written on that page concerned that patient and no confidential information was compromised. I miss the language skills I had prior to the tumor but find it remarkable that I accidentally learned a language I did not know the existence of because I tried to emulate the concept of Yiddish using a base language that I was more familiar with. שלום וברכה לך ולמשפחתך.
Hello, I recently discovered your channel. Is there a Jewish opinion/opnions on translating the Bible into other languages? Will Jewish homes have a version of the Bible tranlated from Hebrew into the local language?Can the Bible be read in English or French or any other language or is it only read in Hebrew?
Hey there welcome 🤗 Absolutely the Bible can and has been translated into many languages. In fact we have a famous translation in Aramaic called unkelos many Jewish Orthodox Jews learn that translation on a weekly basis, as it provides valuable insights. I believe those who are not living in Israel, will have a version translated alongside the Hebrew. But ofcourse best to learn Hebrew and read it via Hebrew language. In the synagogue we will only do the public reading in Hebrew.
Your presentation is visually impressive; however, from a medical nutrition perspective, please be cautious with the dietary recommendations you provide, particularly those involving protein food because the animal origin protein (e.g., meat and dairy) is extremely difficult for the body to digest and eliminate and also have carcinogenic impact.
Absolutely! Because I saw different conflicting recommendations on what best to eat before fast, I stayed out of it 😊 only thing I am sure of is not to eat anything too spicy prior..also better prob nothing you are unfamiliar with... Other than that no nutritional recommendation 🙌
Israel is illegally occupying palestine land, and committing human rights violation against Palestinians, it has nothing to do with jew hatred, its Zionists committing Nakba1948, when they killed Palestinians & evicted them from their land making them refugee.
All what you said is right about that someone should fight evil..you took arabs land..stole homes killed children and bring people from different countries to take their land then complain from stones from neiboughers...joking right?!!!!!...
Also it’s not ur country ur living in other ppls homes how does that feel how do u have audacity to speak like we can’t see what is happening stop this hypocrisy
News flash your still in the desert. Your leaders are wanted for war crimes and 140 country's say Israel is on the wrong side of history. Israel's own people have been protesting the Israeli government's behavior with not in my name and the protest now is worldwide. Israel has become a hermit kingdom shun by the world with 68000 company's closing leaving Israels economy in ruin. This is not the picture of a blessed people, Tamar. This is a hot mess.
I agree with you that war is messy.. But actually Israelis stand beside our army completely and know we have the most incredible brave moral army 💕 Protest has to only with specific policy regarding hostage deal or to show deep care for our hostages 💛
You think more moral to allow these buildings to continue being shooting points directed at our citizens? Allow them to store weapons there directed at us? In terms of casualties - They admitted many times that they want their citizens to be in harm's way.. 😢 sad how they destroyed their society, preferred killing and destroying ours to building their own.
Because Christians continue to proselytize Jews, it is necessary to distinguish between the two religions. Most evangelicals are dedicated to bringing all Jews to Christ. From a Jewish viewpoint that means the death of Judaism. Jews for Jesus has cleverly launched a marketing strategy in which Jews are not converting in a church to Christianity but are doing the most Jewish thing possible.
If the world was different, if Christians would totally stop proselytizing, Jews and Christians could discuss all the things we do have in common and could learn from each other. But seldom do I find a Protestant Evangelical without an agenda. They only want to learn so they can gain converts. They don't want to discuss but win a convert.
There is not enough space to tell you the long sad history between Jews and Christians. Let me just mention Spain. There were a number of forced conversions of Jews to Christianity over many years, which started long before the conversion or expulsion in 1492. With the passage of time, many descendants of Jews were sincere Christian believers but the Gentile Christians hated and suspected the Christians of Jewish ancestry. The Inquisition was set up to investigate. Using olive oil instead of pig lard or cleaning your house on Friday was enough to bring you before the Inquisition. Today's Jews for Jesus would most likely have been burned at the stake by the Inquisition.
You sister and all Jews brothers been through the wrath of God and learnt nothing and it look like the people your army have killed mostly kids and woman, I don’t think you guys learnt anything.
I'm still recovering from sickness, so I think this year will be a modified fast for me. And may we all remember that there are only two reasons for any of us to even be on this planet in the first place - to love the Divine, and to take care of each other.
Thank you, Tamar! Talking about fasting and food, would you mind creating a video about where the definition of "kosher" comes from? Especially not combing dairy and meat. I have been told that the Bible refers to the number of toes with regards to animals that are eatable. Is that a common thing among Christians and Jews? Have a great fast and stay safe and well protected. 💚
I find it very interesting that Tamar Meisels uses the term "external books" instead of Apocrypha as most American Jews do when speaking English. Apparently this is a translation of הספרים החיצוניים. As it states in the Hebrew Wikipedia: הספרים החיצוניים הם ספרים שנכתבו בחלקם הגדול על ידי יהודים, בעיקר בתקופת בית שני, ולא נתקבלו ככתבי יד מקודשים בעת חתימת התנ"ך. The external books are books that were written in large part by Jews, especially during the Second Temple period, and were not accepted as sacred manuscripts at the time of the canonization of the Hebrew Bible.
I wonder what your beliefs would have been if you were not born into a Jewish family? Rather if you were born in some remote village of China, most probably you wouldn't have even heard about the Bible or God's chosen nation. This is the eye-opening truth about our cherished religious affiliations.
Absolutely, beliefs are based on where you were born. Nothing wrong with that though, I believe everyone needs to cherish their own heritage and wisdom 💕 I hope I would hear about the bible though 😊
@@tamarmeisels4637 So you don't believe in TRUTH but in loyalty to your heritage? Where one is born is purely a genetic accident and this doesn't guarantee that your native believes are automatically true. Your video about Bible is informative but again this kind of job is just community service, not truth-seeking.
@@irfanmehmud63 Jews believe that God is in control. We are not born into a certain group by accident but it is God's plan for us. If God decides that a soul is to be born into a Jewish body, then God wants that soul to be part of God's chosen people. God has singled out the Jewish people for greater responsibility. The Torah has been given to the Jews.
@@stephenfisher3721 That's the point. If you were not born into a Jewish community, you wouldn't have believed at all that God is in control with a plan and there is a God's favorite nation having greater responsibility. You were taught by your Jewish parents to think this way. I was born and raised in a Muslim family. Once I asked a fellow Muslim this same question of being accidentally born as a Muslim, believe me, he responded exactly the same way, "To be born in a Muslim family is a blessing in itself". This shows how different religious groups share the same psychology. But nothing can be further from truth than this kind of mindset.
@@irfanmehmud63 I believe each individual needs to look into their heritage and see if it suits them/they believe in it/if there is truth behind it. For me personally, I completely believe in my heritage as being truth. But that doesn't mean I don't think there are also truths and beauty in other cultures as well. But absolutely my channel/videos on YT is about leaning in on my specific heritage and discovering the wisdom and truth there, not leaning in to all the cultures out there; My POV is Jewish Orthodox, not an atheist scientist. 😀
@@tamarmeisels4637 You are referring to the famous Ramban! (Honestly, I hade to google it) I didn't know that! It's a beautifully written book with a lot a wisdom in it. G-ds word or not, it's worth reading!
@tamarmeisels4637 Hi Tamar, my name is Daniel and I live in NJ. I grew up orthodox, and I am no longer practicing. I am reaching out to you regarding my daughter. She is 23 years old and religious. She wanted to go to Israel for a few months for a reboot and a spiritual lift. She can use someone with guidance. Would you be willing to take her under your wings and uplift her. I am willing to compensate you. Please let me know
These books are considered canonical and devinely inspired in my orthodox church.The early church fathers quoted from them extensively in their literary works.the jews rejected them because they talk plainly about christ being the messiah and son of God
Why do you think these books plainly talk about Christ being the Messiah and son of God? I never heard this and a quick Google search did not mention it. Perhaps you have confused a few things? First of all, the Messiah is a Jewish idea. Messiah comes from the Hebrew word משיח. Christ is simply a Greek translation of Messiah. By definition, Christ would be Messiah. Of course, since the New Testament is about Jesus whom the Christians consider the Messiah, Christ is usually reserved for Jesus. Now the Jews totally reject the idea that God could have a son. Judaism and Christianity parted ways on the Christian insistence that Jesus was literally God. What specific verses are you talking about?
