Judeo Christian principles are part of our country’s founding. This fact needs to be taught in school. Separation of church and state means no endorsement of a religion not no religion at all
Thank you so much. I grew up with Cantor Sol Mendelsohn, o"h, older brother of Jackie, and my dad, Samuel Alexander, z"l, grew up on Boro Park and was a protege of Cantor Moshe Nathanson. Dad had a beautiful voice and served as a Chazzan Sheini at our shul. I cherish the few recordings he made for me later in his life. Like Judith, I didn't appreciate the krekhst until I was an adult
A gay pride flag is religious symbol from those who define their whole being by and worship sodomy. No Ten Commandments then no gay pride religious proselytizing either.
if you're going to teach the bible in public school, you have to teach every other religion, too. I guess there won't be any time left to teach reading, writing and arithmetic.
What a great idea! Boys and girls, just a reminder - don't steal, don't kill, don't lie, don't envy other people or their stuff, love and honor your parents, and love your neighbor. What a great idea.
Really incredibly thorough; you picked wonderful practitioners of the Cantorial Art (let alone your incredible love and knowledge) making what has become so largely forgotten---come alive once more!
There should be mo religioys instruction in public schools outside of the context of the academic studies of history, sociology, antropology and literature. There is nothing holy about any religion and the concept of holiness is no more valid in the modern world then the concept of psychic phenomena. It is a fantasy that people who reject reality use to prop up their weak worldviews.
It's not important if the 10 commandments are part of a religion or not. They are the base of good comportement in the society. They should be learned and practiced.
If all you're looking for is a "base of good comportment" then why not use the laws of Hamurabi, which the 10 commandments were based on? Why go that old though? Why not go with the posted rules of Kindergarten (don't hit, share, use your inside voice, say please and thank you, no running except at recess, clean up after yourself, don't tease, have fun)? Why go to a religious text for your rules of good comportment? _Because you want to force your religion on everyone else._ That's why.
All across the world Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christians along with hundreds of denominations believe in the 10 Commandments. The words "separation of church and state" do not appear in the U.S. Constitution. The First Amendment prohibits the government from creating an official religion or favoring one religion (or nonreligion) over another. The 10 Commandments are universally accepted by most religions so it does not favor one religion over another. The separation of church and state enables all Americans to practice their deeply held beliefs in private and in public and last I checked public schools are part of the public we are allowed to uphold our religious beliefs
New Yorkers weighing in on something that is happening in Louisiana makes no sense. Of course, they have freedom of speech. They can say whatever they want. That said, it's no concern of a New Yorker what is going on in Louisiana because it has no impact on the daily lives of New Yorkers. Stay in your lane, NYC.
Right, so by your argument, if Colorado mandated felatio instruction in schools, it would be no one's business but folks in Colorado. Or, if California mandated that public schools teach the superiority of Latino culture over all others (not saying the others are bad, just not as good), everyone in other states should shut up about it? As Americans we are all entitled to speak out and have opinions about every place in America. It is _our_ country. States, counties, cities and neighborhoods included. All of it is everyone's business.
No man is an island. People who are raised in other states go out into the world and affect change. New Yorkers can talk about it - because it can affect them.
Some of the first U.S. states were literal theocracies. More complicated than that muh “separation of church and state”. You have to swear an oath on a Bible in almost every court of the U.S. for testimony. How is this any different?.
Nobody swears to the Bible any more, it is an oath to "Almighty God" which can be any god that the person follows or an Affirmation which states that the person will only tell the truth.
@@Eyeris625 There is no such thing as God. Not in any sense. By no definition. The path is simply an oath. "Do you swear...?" It is legally binding. That's the only thing that matters in a court of law. There is no mention of God or the Bible when swearing an oath in court.
I think schools should teach a world religions class about different faiths, instead of just one religious view. That's the problem I have with this new law. Only one religion is represented.
Are you sure about that? Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christians along with hundreds of denominations believe in the 10 Commandments.
This nation was founded on our Christian faith. People arrived here fleeing religious persecution in Europe. Separation of church and state has lead to the ansrchy and marxist system we now must endure
This nation was founded on the accumulation of wealth. Not one thing more. A bunch of guys with money wanted to give less of their money to England so they convinced a bunch of stupid, illiterate working class folks that _England bad!_ and started a war. Do some reading. There were a small handful of philosophical ideologues who had a boner for freedom and a massive pile of rich guys who wanted to get richer. Regular folks weren't allowed to vote (white, landowning hales only). Women couldn't inherit property. Blacks were enslaved. Native people were hunted down and murdered. The teachings of Christ are not in evidence _anywhere_ in the founding documents, but pre-christian Greek philosophy _is._
Come on now, we all know you don’t know shit about Marxism. Also, there’s plenty of letters from the founding fathers saying it’s not about Christianity. Also, slavery was introduced when people were more religious. I think you just hate our country and freedom. Maybe you should head over to the Middle East and get a look at what happens when you let the church run your country.
Hmm 🤔 , good question . Why no religion in PUBLIC schools ? Our constitution was developed with those rules in mind with out the literal engagement of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH . That narrative happened in England . Something happened with George and the church in England that the founders did not want happening here . So the church was left out . Progress to today , and if you have been following the news the last couple of years , you can see why . We are free of that mess , and i want keep it that way . The Middle East is full of PRIESTS running nations , and fighting among themselves . It’s rediculous ! All i know is I’m glad we are free from that kind of tyranny .
that prutzah thinks not murdering and not stealing are out-dated - and people wonder why the world is so messed up - we definitely need more Torah in the world, and having the most basic laws of Torah on display is a good thing and is timeless
I m packing my 🐪 going to this hill with the cloud on it . Making a frontiere and planting wine and so. But where are the people believing in this time nowadays ? If god gives me power in my old age. So I m staying alone on tve hill and i m happy. Thank You for the lesson. Said chesund. 😀
Thank you so much for these! I have a terrible memory due to long COVID. It would help a lot, when you do the final review if you wrote the English under the words.
I do enjoy your teaching but sometimes find it too fast. This isn't you it's me. I wish I could just have you in my home teaching me all day 😄if ever you fancy a holiday in the UK give me a shout.....hope you like animals though 😉 Thank you for your time xx
Another illustration of the banality of evil. Always stunning to see how people can justify evil. He totally avoids the reason why the Palestinians resort to violence. The reason and the original cause of the conflict: Israel is a state founded on ethnic superiority or privilege. It can never be democratic based on that advantage given to a group. It was inevitable that this would lead to a kind of fascism (i.e., extreme nativism leading to barbarism).
Just remember guys not all Nazis are white. I’m Mexican in Spanish and my great grandfather which is still alive. Today was a Nazi and he fought for division. Azul was a Spanish Nazi division that fought against communism.
