Thanks for the kind words! In real life I am not as humble.

hfranklin2009 Touching story. And we could say that Dr Abramson performs a heart surgery on us as well, leading us to our circuncision of heart, as non-jews going to shomer sheva mitzvot (observants of the seven laws to sons of Noah). How the Talmud presents this way to the nations is also a very interesting lecture topic, specially for Internet audience (I guess).

@@marcelomeireles2114 Many people fear the seven Noahide laws. According to these people there is basis for fear. It is claimed those who are devising these laws can turn them against non Jews and Jews who are not in favour with the intent that will issue forth from these laws giving those wielding that authority the power to kill who they desire to kill. It is not biblically logical for any Noahide laws to be forced or implemented for if there was Moses would have had no need for the Ten Commandments to be given him. The opposers make claim it is to be alright for those who made these laws to kill, steal, commit adultery, bear false witness and the rest but it will be the death penalty for anyone not of their organised cult to commit any infringement against these laws and they will use their twisted logic against whoever they choose. I think I have explained it as I heard it.

How did you get the name Herschel if you aren't Jewish? I hope you are well and still following and can answer. A family member who was martyrd by Hitler was named Herschel so I noticed it.

@@feigier9310 I was born in 1944 during WWII. My dad had a childhood friend with that name who had gone off to fight in the Pacific Theater in the Army. He insisted I be named after Hershel Sloan. I don't know if he was Jewish, probably not as we were in Western Oklahoma. I didn't know until my early 30s that it was not an uncommon Jewish name. I know a few others with that name, but not many. I am being verbose and I apologize, but I want to tell you a story. Several years ago my wife's niece was getting married. Her mother, my wife, and another sister were in their element working on the wedding. The bride's father had a sister from Chicago who had a relationship with a Jewish man named Israel. The girls all came to me with an assignment, I was asked to take Israel under my wing and keep him entertained for the next three or four days, he didn't know anyone other than his partner. I didn't realize at the time that he was in the early stages of Alzheimer, today I would recognize it because my wife is in the early stages as well. But, he was alert at the time and was wonderful company,. On the second day he asked if I was Jewish because of my name. I explained the origin of the name, the origin as it applied to me, and he asked if I knew what it meant. I didn't so he replied, "Dear one of God." Just the way he said it was touching. During the course of our being together I discovered that he liked to sing. We sang a few songs together. At the reception after the wedding, they had a karaoke machine. I sang a Roger Miller song and asked the guy if he had "Sunrise, Sunset" from "The Fiddler on the Roof." He did so I called Israel to come up and sing with me. I don't think he even knew what karaoke was but he was a trooper. We belted that song out for the bride, took our bows, and gave the microphone up. On the third day of our being together, he told me his story. He was a child when he and his family were taken to Auschwitz. He lost track with his father and he assumed he was killed. He was young enough that he was staying with his mother. One time some were ordered to leave for another location, he was there with his mother. His mother told him to go back in and get whatever he had that passed for a coat. When he got inside, the women there wouldn't allow him to leave. He assumed she had gone to her death, he never saw her again and he thought she had intentionally sent him away to save his life. About six months later I tried to contact him and was told he wouldn't know me. I am saddened that I didn't know him longer and better than I did. He was a lovely little man I came to love during that short episode in our lives. I apologize for the length of my answer to your very kind question. One more note: I was happy to see John Lovett's character on Saturday Night Live several years ago of Harry Hanukkah, his creation of a counterpart of Santa Claus. Rather than a sleigh pulled by reindeer, Harry had a wagon pulled by donkeys. One of them was named "Hershel."

You are too kind. G-d willing we will be able to make another pilgrimage to the holy city of Brooklyn again. About 8 more months and we will have that burden of short term debt we incurred last summer paid off. We also need to arrange for Bridgette's sister to come out to stay with her mother for us to get away together. May the One G-d bless all of your endeavors, may His strong hand always be upon you and may you prosper even as your soul prospers. Agape, Norm

Good idea.

Thanks for the kind words and the reference. *add

Yes, but not the Hebrew bible.

Interesting I guess my Jewish brain always assigned the Talmudic meaning to the Greek saying. I guess there is actually hope for me haha.

Not too sure what to say about this.

As Mattathias himself attested the Maccabees were descendants of Phinehas who was told they would be high priests to time indefinite. The Maccabees later descended from the priesthood of Zadok and not Abiathar Numbers 25:10; 31:6. The Mashiach was born of king David's linage in the first century but in His second coming my Mashiach was born by an Alma descended from the Maccabees in her paternal genealogical lineage.

Yea if ur still interested

Hope you found the video useful!

"Dolphin girl." Hmm.

He does, actually.

Black Hebrew Israelism is a man-made cult by Bivens and Arayah. Deuteronomy 28:68 was fulfilled in the time of the Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. by Titus. Satan has blinded you of the truth!

Agreed.
