BIO FOR RABBI JOE:
Rabbi Joe Charnes received his BA in psychology from California State University, Northridge. He went on to study in traditional Jewish seminaries in Los Angeles, California, Brooklyn, New York, and Jerusalem, Israel, and was ordained by Rabbi Mordechai Finley, PhD, of the Academy for Jewish Religion, California.
Rabbi Joe’s teachings center around exploring both the practical and mystical dimensions of the Jewish faith tradition. He is also deeply devoted to interfaith dialogue and engagement, and has been involved in numerous multi-faith events across the country and in Europe.
Rabbi Joe Charnes is married to his beautiful wife, Sarah Schechter, a Rabbi and Air Force Chaplain, recently retired. They live in the Denver area with their lovely daughter, Yael Emunah.
____________________________________________
Summary
In this conversation, Benjamin Griffin and Rabbi Joe Charnes discuss the importance of deep scripture study and interfaith dialogue. Rabbi Joe finds meaning in the Book of Mormon and the New Testament. They emphasize the need to savor and truly understand the words of scripture. They also discuss the concept of beholding, which signifies paying attention to something significant. They explore the idea that the land having no obstructions to preach is a metaphor for breaking down the barriers around our hearts that prevent us from truly internalizing and living the teachings of scripture.

Thank you so much Rabbi Joe for your insight and helping us to realize how much more we need to delve into the scriptures to bring it into our hearts And our souls.

I just tuned in and my first thought was that we take what we have with the Book of Mormon for granted. Here is a Rabbi who studies our scripture better than we do. How can we hope for additional scripture if we don't take advantage of what we have right now? I wonder what the member missionary work would be like if everyone took the Book of Mormon as seriously as he does. I'm so thankful for my testimony of this sacred volume of scripture.

My Father has been beating this drum for my entire life. We don't sufficiently take the scriptures seriously, at least not most of us. Honestly, though, I don't think we're helped along by the translation models that have been proposed for the Book of Mormon, or our more general suspicion regarding how intact ancient scripture is. To be honest, I find the Rabbinical hermeneutics to be the most fruitful and well developed, and we'd do well to treat the Book of Mormon with that level of scrutiny and respect.

Members of all faith communities struggle with engaging deeply with their sacred texts. If we are humble and intentional and devoted in our hearts, we can grow and blossom more fully from our holy wisdom. And we need each other on this journey. Blessings.

Benjamin and Rabbi Joe, on a teetertooter, you two balane one another very well. When we come together to harmonize spiritually, the heavens open, and we can visualize concourses of angels singing joyfully that our conversations are praises of adoration to "Our King of Kings," songs of Redeeming love as hearts and voices are raised, finding peace together and dropping any manner of contention that seperates or divides. My soul is lifted, and my spiritual needs are filled with the biblical description of honey and butter or thick, fresh cream that I may know to prize the good, as I look into your beautiful glowing faces, faces so pure and with the intent to unite joyfully. I enjoyed every word spoken and the spirit of total reverence. Who's on the Lords side? All as we generate human kindness.

Rabbi Joe's approach to the study of the Book of Mormon is a great example of being humble. Being humble is a trait of the most intelligent being in the universe, even God. Pride. All pride, is an example of baseness, and is not conducive to progression, spiritual, or intellectual
