Ba'al in Hebrew means "master." A Baal Teshuva is someone who becomes observant after either falling away form observance or never observing. It means "master of return."
I’m happy to see this because I see you joined a culture, a way of living. I did the same. I joined a culture from India. I never felt that I joined a cult or sect. I never felt brainwashed. I joined a culture which has been around for thousands of years on the other side of the globe. I’m happy for you! God bless you!🙏🏼
So do we have to give those twelve cups of coffee away or are we forced to drink those twelve cups? 'Cause this could be the deal breaker depending on the answer.☕
0:17 You did not respect the man's boundaries. Typical of Chabad. 0:43 Because outside Habad there is no fulfillment. 0:54 Chabad gave you skills from a vocational school. Good for you. Just to show how lucky you are: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3QXfb1pSaN8.html&pp=ygUeZGUgam9vZHNlIHNjaG9vbCB2YW4gYW50d2VycGVu 0:56 A 401K?! When most Yeshiva Bochurs live in dire poverty. Lucky you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eh4AVpoohpM.html 1:40 What kind of sick person invites stranger to his house for a meal? The missionary who lives just down the block does it all the time. It's not like he has some agenda to push. (A beautifull 5 course meal with beautifull conversations): In my experience it is more like a wonderful monologue. 2:05 Maybe try going to your Rabbi in the middle of the night instead 2:20 What is so wrong with watching T.V in your spare time? So long as you are having fun it's fine. Now you volunteer in the community. So long as you are having fun it's fine. Oh, so it is selfish to have fun then; Huh? (This is a red flag) (Now it is engrained in my psyche to help others) You do you, so long as you're having fun. It's only a problem when you do things compulsively; Be it watching T.V, be it volunteering. -Why do you volunteer? -Is there anyone who motivates you to voluenteer? -Are there any annoying chores during your volunteering, you'd rather not do? -If you decided today that you'd rather watch T.V instead, may you watch T.V? 3:00 So this Rabbi came up to you and told you he knows a nice girl; This could be a red flag, depending on the context; How did this come about? -Did you ask him beforehand that you where interested in meeting a girl? -Or did he show up, out of the blue, and randomly tell you this. In what circumstances did he tell you he knows a girl? -Did he talk to you in private; Or announce it to everyone present? -How did you feel during this announcement? Good or Bad? please describe the feeling. -At what time did he tell you he knows a girl; and had you eaten before the anouncement? -Did he shake your hand, hold your shoulder or something like that? -Would he have accepted 'No' for an answer? How where you spiritually when he told you he knows a girl? -Was your emmunah strong? -Could you feel Hashem's love, and if so, please describe it. -What did you lern before he told you he knows a girl; My grandparents where taught Kitzur Shulchan Aruch chapter 151 before meeting ~Did you know this chapter before he told you? ~Did you know of the existence of this chapter before I mentioned it? -What did you learn right after meeting your future wife? What where the reasons you got married? 3:17 How does your wife feel about you doing a vocal impression of her? 3:33 Why did you have children? -It is a Mitzvah to be fruitfull and multiply, do you want to fulfill this mitzva? ~And if so, did you have children in order to fulfill said mitzva? -What are the Halakhot concerning children ~How do you feel about said halakhot? -Have you ever heared about the Kefirim? Did you know some people feel pressured to have children because of such stories? I felt this pressure, did you? 3:35 How where you feeling whilst saying that to the camera? 3:42 You did not ask for that?! what do you mean? This is a red flag! 4:04 Even your kids are messed up?! Another massive red flag! 4:06 Good for you! 4:11 Your gestures are very rude sir, stop that! 4:17 You did not ask for any of that; You did not ask for any of that? Yet you went along with it. Why did you go along with it; If you didn't ask for any of it? This whole lifestyle ruined your life; Explain how exactly did your lifestyle ruin your life; How do you feel about living this lifestyle right now? Explain what about your lifestyle you want to change? Because this is another red flag 4:39 "This Narishkeit Scoliosis; Where a person could come to think; that the good is bad and the bad is good. The only known treatment is learning Chasidic discourses* ETC" -Are you implying that the Secular Jew is sick? This is a red flag. -I've never learned about this disease, where did you? -Is this a physical ailment, or a psychological condition? ~How could I know it if I had it? ~How could one catch the disease? ~Can it be transmitted through human contact? (This is a red flag) ~~Should you avoid the cariers of the disease. - Could you explain, no matter how basic, how Chassidic discourses cure this disease? *Discourses is jargon for 'Debates between two people, it means the same as Dialogue '
You good? This video is clearly sarcastic and your reply is seemingly just looking for things to hate on/prod about, unless your comment is itself some kind of really good troll.
You are exactly who this video is making fun of. Modern people cannot comprehend how someone can get fulfillment through dedication to religion and community. They try to paint every religious community as backwards and oppressive. It’s a cope and a projection for the emptiness of modern life.
