Choose Life! The Greatest Motivational Speech of All Time 

Your teaching on existence vs living is what got me to become a regular listener of yours. I am a Guatemalan Christian and have no Jewish ancestry that I am aware of and yet I listen to your podcast regularly. Thank you Rabbi for publishing your work freely and allowing others outside your community to listen to.

You are greatest person in my Life ❤️💕 you have changed my life for good, May The Lord God of Heaven and Earth the Bless you and your family, I speak from deep from self🌹💋💯🌠

Walaikummussalam The honour is mine !!!

I'm so glad that I've watched! Thank you so much, Rabbi. Your teaching has you touched my heart here in Brazil!

I'm 63 years old. Catholic since born. I never felt comfortable with Catholicism something felt wrong. My family thought they were doing right. My mother was a excellent lady and mother. I'm glad God presented Judaism to me.

❤

You have listened to the wrong Catholic priests for sure!!!

100%

You are so right. He is so wonderful. Ive listened to him for a year now. Very helpful and i love his thoughts about marriage. I am 55 and have a son about your age. I wish you a beautiful life! All the best, Désirée from Sweden

I am sorry, let’s thank Hashem for the Rabbi’s LIFE! 😉

@Cynthia Farley: "How I Can Apply It to My LIFE ? " Answer: Verry Simple...Just Like the Rabbi Explained. Try "Living". Helping other who needs YOU. That's L'Chaim

You don't 'apply it to your life'. You do it. You live when you do. For others. Not for yourself. Thinking of them. Not you. There are endless opportunities daily to get of service. Small things. Smiling. (You don't know whose day you'll improve.). Lending a hand to a friend, a neighbor, a stranger. The opportunities are there of you're open to them. Be open to them. You only start to have a life when you do for others. Before that you're existing.

Hi Cynthia 🌹, good morning and also how are you doing today ?

Desr Vladimir. The rabbi is truly alive. When a person is alive, he abvusly exists. Life is happiness, love, gratefullness. When you are alive you are full of life When a person exists only, as in depression, ( depresed = in a deep-rest) breathing becouse he is not dead, he realy stops to exist. becouse he exited life. Therefore when a person exists, he might not be alive, but when he is alive he abvusly exists.

Don't lose hope. Keep putting out that positive energy and the right path will come eventually! The patience you learn along the way will stand you in good stead when you are as busy as you want to be GD willing:)

No reason to be 'sad'. You're looking too hard. Look around to see who needs you. Once you find the mm you'll be in the 'right direction'. Sounds like you might still be focusing on you, which most of us do until we figure out that's not the answer.

i think u r spot on with the hebrew words , hope rabbi see your coment and use it

You sound like you're on the road to understanding though you're still dragging old thoughts with you and trying to make it cohesive together. Won't happen. Life doesn't 'work for people'. Life is giving. Not receiving. There aren't a set of 'values' to learn. It's a simple concept. Stop thinking about you. Be needed not needy. Done. Go and help. Serve don't be served.

Some people have trouble finding things that are deep down

Bc He loves you & specifically made you special.

@@jules9628 He couldn't love me before He created me. So, why would God create me if He didn't love me in the first place? I ask this because no father loves his child before he creates a child. The father doesn't even know if the child is going to be a boy or girl, so how he can love the child before the child is created. My question is why God wanted to create specifically me? Why God is not satisfied with His other children that He created, so He had to create me also? Was I created by accident, by luck or it was planned by God?

@@1SuperMind I dont agree with that. I believe the Word. God isnt and doesnt think like a human-And the Bible says from King David that he knew us before we were even in the womb! He created and formed us-if not then how would He only know you After you were born? God doesnt just love us-He IS Love, says the Word. The very embodiment! Anyway im sorry you believe He doesnt know every single cell, created your personal DNA Structure, of your body, even the numbers of hair on your head-which He says He does. Hope you reconsider the belief you hold and see the beautiful truth that belief you hold. You most certainly are loved.

@@jules9628 What the Bible says, if God knew us before we were even in the womb, where were we existing at that time? How can God know us unless we exist? Are the creation and existence different things? Please clarify, because I got more doubts. Thanks.

Bcz you are needed in this life pls do something for someone.. Find out who..

You don't know much about computers, do you...? 😊

Or you have two spirits:) one in your brain and one in your heart

Advise to @John Cole. Hate is an emotion, and comes right from your heart. Keep reading ... "The Good Book" ..."Tevje"...

Space and Time are interwoven, Albert-Einsten. Space and Time are One. And spans multiple dimensions. That's why Angelic Beings can travel timeless. Daniel in the Tanach Aprove it. It is plausible to say : God blessed the seventh day or God blessed the time-span on the seventh day. The Space-Time Continuum

You can skip all the ads by putting the red cursor to the very end, as if you finished the video, and then reload and that's how you avoid the ads in the first place

The rabbi doesn't put the ads on. YT does. The ads pay a little to the rabbi which is how he can afford to take the time to share his wisdom with us. YT gets the rest of the money for advertising. You complain to tv shows about their ads?

@@naamadina7655 sure, you want something for free. The rabbi gives his time to share wisdom and you give him? Nothing?

I used to think the way you do. I changed my perspectives and my beliefs and resulted in my happiness and peace. Maybe change your thought process to be like the creator to understand on a deeper level?

I've replied to my own question through Guilt. No one is more or less important than anyone else would be my Consciousness answer

My own Reply is simply NO.. Jews have a far greater ability to be self offacing.Far more honest with themselves in what their purpose is. Christianity tends to feel its needed to guide others. Please contact for more

Happiness is NOT geologically specific It is purely internal

Why do you want to be in a Big City at this time of the end? You should want to flee the Big Cities and move to the Countryside.

@@Jay-cc4et I saw the neighborhood's that were taken over, Trump got rich taking over a Jewish housing project and now it's a slum, it's not right, I witnessed the hatred, I was driven away and now it's impossible to be safe the world is over, that's why I am sick with greif.

I'm sorry you're in pain. I pray things get better for you and your heart is healed. That you get the unconditional Love that God has towards us. I've experienced much of what you mentioned but I'm still standing, life is still possible. He got me thru all that.

I understand. Existence can suck sometimes. I'm so glad we have a wise Rabbi to help us understand life more.

Doing nothing is still an act of doing. To literally do nothing is a paradox.

Yes you are right. Because we don't need anything but the Creator who decides to recreate you again and again every second, he needs you.

@@dinushblau4247 I mean honestly, what is more beautiful than this thought? It's like a passionate artist that refuses to stop creating until every detail just right. And once every detail is just right, they wonder, "How can I make this more perfect?" Some may be wondering, how can something be "more perfect?" Well, to that I say, G-d can do literally anything, even things we consider logically impossible.

@@Constellation3232 exactly. So well you wrote it. And if we don't know what else to make it perfect and he dose 😊 whom would you want to do it better than to him?! The one and only who knows it all.

That's a choice you made not to be happy. You're happy with your unhappiness or you would change your thinking. I hope that since you wrote this your existence has improved.

@@nomorecensoringme bit harsh but true.

So what are you saying exactly? If its not for you why did you listen?!

@@dinushblau4247 because i keep an open mind

@@dinushblau4247 i think i said exactly what i am saying

@J Fl true. It's not about me because I am not unhappy. But why assume his listeners are as well? Shouldn't they be the happiest people on earth considering they have such a learned rabbi to follow?

@@sirmatatyahu1261 did anyone ask you about your mind?! If you are happy thanks God for you. Keep on in your life.
