Behind the Scenes: Reacting to "Day in the Life of a Jew"

This 'reaction' video complements the original "Day in the Life" in a most wholesome way. One of the most powerful takeaways for me is the prospect of bringing intentionality into one's everyday actions, words, and thoughts. This "mundane intentionality" is literally a life-changing practice. Thank you! ❤❤❤

Would you be interested in translating a Jewish prayer book, with your language, for us? Even if at least one prayer at a time? Many of us find it hard to connect with the language in most sidurim. But your language for each prayer is beautiful. If I had a prayer book with your language it would be invaluable to me 🙏

Very beautiful! We would all be mentally healthier to stay focused like that, rather than letting the worries of the day take control.

Thank you Zevi for this and all videos. I’m going through a lot and trying to really connect with Hashem and these really help. You have such a beautiful way of explaining and connecting with us.

Please dear Zevi, explain more about the concept of T'fillah (Reunite) as it should be really understood. Blessings!!!

Thank you Zevi. Excellent job. I would really love it if you made a whole series that teaches the inner (nondual?) Meaning of jewish practice. I already started applying some of your ideas into my daily practice. It's such a treasure!🎉

I love the way that the Baal Shem Tov draws upon Psalm 16:8... translating in an freely open way as, "With HaShem's Presence before me, I will manage to maintain equanimity in the face of the divisive and fragmenting forces that the world imposes." Which relates to the Hasidic concept of 'Hishtavus' about which Moshe Gersht has written the very nice book, 'It's all the Same to Me. A Torah Guide to Inner Peace and Love of Life.'

What a great INSIGHT... "The starting point is during the night". It can be analyzed in many ways (from darkness came light).

I enjoyed sounding out the Hebrew words when they were on screen, even if I did butcher them badly. My routine is different, but this is a reminder that anything can be a meditation, especially in the transitional moments. The prayers bring to light the significance of what we do on a daily basis. I am reminded of a long run I went on over this past summer repeating a Hindu word on my exhales. The thought of suffering in the hot sun, accelerating when my body wanted to rest, warms my soul as we are now in winter where I live. I find that the rhythm of the breath is a good memorization tool so I shall try this with some of these Hebrew words. Also I think embracing suffering is a part of any routine; we are rewarded by having a conversation with other people after the labor of brushing our teeth for example. There is no reward without labor, the rhythm of transitioning between these two states provides profound meaning.

That Mayse book looks great!

Thank you for your sincere explanation. It is obvious that you put a lot of effort into the editing part of your movie, a truly professional movie has emerged. I will be looking forward to your future videos 😊

After reciting Modeh Ani every morning for so many years, it becomes almost mechanical and the intentionality of it is lost. It is beautiful as you explains it and reminds us of what it means. However, how can we constantly maintain the awareness of what we are really reciting, rather than saying it automatically at waking up? Judaism is a beautiful religion and it saddens me that so many Jews do not realise that.

Your videos always make me feel like I can conquer the world, thank you for that.

Many people out there really want to learn about Judaism. Jews never put pressure on anyone and it's so refreshing to have a religion that is NOT a gatekeeper to heaven and the afterlife. I truly believe that dispelling ignorance is one way to combat antisemitism. Thanks Zev, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord...

I hope this doesn't sound irreverent, but the tefillin always strikes me as resembling a mystical GoPro rig.

I appreciate the thought that goes into these videos, keep it up

I wish I could perform such amazing rituals during every morning, especially using such beautiful words for the ALL MIGHTY BLESS ONE.

1:50 that's so funny i can't figure out how to lengthen stuff i make. Everythings like 7 seconds.

You write beautifully Zevi. From scripts to a book, it’s what I hope to see one day.

how can someone who is exploring judaism begin to incorporate ritual into their practice? I have begun to do daily torah study. but honestly it isn't that easy to find sources for beginners on what to do and how. I want to speak with a rabbi but feel shy since i am on a spiritual and psychedlic journey into religion... looking for a seekers route in. come on comments, dont get me with that bloodline stuff just save it.

Great video. So quick question on the Torah Study you mentioned , when is the most appropriate time to study, between prayers, before or after. In the morning or afternoon, both or is a bit flexible?

An amazing writer, please share the whole script. It is highly inspirational.

Thank you so much for your channel. I'm a new subscriber. Is there a relationship between T'shuva and mysticism?

kosha, kosher... is it related to kosha in sanscrit?

I'm reading the Sefer Yetzirah, by Aryeh Kaplan, and on page 62, it says the Kabbalists perform different physical activities to unify the sephirot, do you know what any of these physical activities are? Any good books on how to train my chariot, while you're at it. Just make sure to feed it, and keep it facing the right way and not straying to far from home? Thank you for the Zohar videos, very needed information on what I'm going through, I started watching it a year ago when you made it then stopped, but just finished it. Is the washing hands ritual after waking up a unification of the sephirot activity, since they were all just in the water together, and putting my hands in water could acknowledge how they are with me, even when I wake, and am not having them dream for me?

Thank you!

Thank you.

thank you, so many beautiful moments

Please have Ariel mayse on! He’s amazing!

Are you Lubavitch or Sephardic?

thank you so much!

¡Gracias!
