I recently moved to the US and would love to collaborate with a local org in the creation these vids. If you know any orgs, institutions or communities I could collab with please let me know. Love, Zevi
That is so cool! I'm a recent convert to Judaism, having found out that all of my grandmother's family is Jewish and all of their ancestors were Jewish (and Judaism feels like home to me - I feel like I've come home, it's all so familiar and I don't know how), and I have truly loved your videos - they've been so confirming. Thank you for them, from the bottom of my heart. I've been printing a regular column in my small town newspaper called Israel at War because I have a friend that I correspond with who is a reserve Captain in the IDF. It's such a small community that I live in (with a non-existent Jewish population besides myself) and I wanted my column to present people in my community with a first-degree account of the Jewish perspective of the war that people in my community may not get otherwise. And I feel like it's my way of combatting antisemitism, by presenting the larger truth. I'm afraid I can't offer you a great opportunity, as we're just a small town newspaper with no money, but if I may ask you for your perspective occasionally I would be very grateful. I am planning on entering this column in the newspaper awards next year, so that may be all the exposure I could offer you at the moment. With much gratitude, Justine@@SeekersofUnity
Dear Zevi - Perhaps you would consider sojourning in the sublime Pacific NW & Port Townsend, WA. I do not know if we could offer you exactly what you seek. But we may be able to create for you what you couldn't otherwise find... Shalom - The Dandelion Lover
This is an excellent shift! I have been doing so much work, theoretical and in practice, on ritual!! If you would ever like to compare notes please let me know. Either way, my best wishes for this beautiful turn in your work.
Welcome to the US! I hope you enjoy it here. I’m not sure how I missed this vid the other day. I don’t have any recommendations, but I will let you know if I hear anything. I live in Chicago and there is a lot going on here. I’m excited for the new series of vids!
Sending a wave of love to you Zevi, and to all seekers of unity. I can imagine this last month was not easy but hang in there, the Light is working in our hearts and the world is changing for the better.
Thank You, Zevi, for this singular much needed reminder of calm, balance and wisdom! And thank you for Seekers of Unity! 🤝 🌌 🏞 🎉 🧘♂️ 🧘♀️ And I'm particularly thankful🎉 for the generosity of thoughtful and peaceful Jewish tradition! 🎉 Continuous distilled wisdom treasure house that is Seekers of Unity! 🙏 🌌 📖 ✡️ ⚖️ 📚 🎉
Love this. We need more ritual as a society. An ecology of practices that push and pull on each other, making us more resilient and aligned with our values.
I'd be interested in some guidence for us non-Jews on creating valuable rituals inspired by what you've learned from Jewish rituals. Or maybe suggest small number of Jewish or Jewish-inspired daily rituals that secular people could adopt (i.e. that don't assume buy-in into the Jewish religion).
This is wonderful news Zevi. After 30 yrs on the path I feel prayer....or simply talking out loud to Presence ...is of utmost importance. Look forward to understanding the Jewish way. I just heard Rabbi Alon Goshen Gottstein talking about the same subject....that Judaism has lots to offer other religions by way of ritual.
It's all very well to having esoteric knowledge of the Divine. However, if you cannot bring that knowledge into the World, and ensure it has an positive impact on the World, then it really is meaningless. Rituals are the way to actually materialise the positive impacts of that Divine knowledge into the actual world.
i think a major issue today (given contemporary material events) is the other. how is there a reconciliation between ideas of the other (or goyim) with a post enlightenment construct of human equality. bc as long as it is central to a religious paradigm that there is us and them, there is going to be deep societal issues and inequality.
Great to see the new concept. Something to think about that I hope it's okay to share. Integrity is probably your most precious capital, and the whole wait to the end or other little tricks to manipulate the viewer to do the things that'll make you channel grow don't really communicate integrity to this viewer. Why not just trust that if you make great videos, the marketing part will take care of itself. The little attempts at controlling me, makes me loose interest right from the get go, and I bet that's not really the sense you want to leave your viewers with. Just a thought. Good luck with it. Also, regarding the B-roll; perhaps be a little creative. The tying our shoelaces is a little on the nose, which is a nice way of saying, well.. patronizing and uncreative. Again, forgive me for telling you how to do your job but I'm just really hoping that you'll be me new favorite channel.
Thank you sweet friend for your kind and honest feedback. I genuinely wanted you to hear the update at the end of the video. I was thinking of putting it at the beginning but compromised with the mention of it. I did feel that the title and thumbnail were a little cheesy and clickbaity tho. I appreciate your feedback and calling me out kindly. Thank you.
