Thoreau, the Baal Shem Tov and Yaakov Avinu

Video Description

In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long wraps up his trip to Israel before heading back to Arkansas with the story of his trip to Amman, Jordan - but wait for the surprise ending! Our hosts ponder the meaning of the sages' enigmatic expression, reflecting vast theological truths, that 'G-d is the place of the world, but the world is not His place.' What does that mean? Rabbi Richman pulls it all together with an unexpected connection between a story told about the holy Baal Shem Tov, and the celebrated American philosopher and poet, Henry David Thoreau. Lots of surprises in this week's episode! _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, Inc., a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: PayPal: [email protected] or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?locale.x=en_US In the USA: Jerusalem Lights Inc.
