Portion [of the Week]; Devarim 31-6, Fink and Guest

it's the the been the peace be de la chaise all although only eighteen days our shaw i am a day's all portions of the week the bible was read in the synagogue with rebutting commentary this evening we hear rabbi leon be think spiritual leader of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york his guest is dr richard m silberstein medical director of the staten island mental health center yesterday we discussed the gods decree that pointed comedy and cling to rabbinic commentary that denied they love would be a day of mourning and therefore the temple was destroyed and that is

why the portion of deuteronomy the beginning the first portion in deuteronomy his read on the sabbath before the night they love going to the counter and that is why the selection for the avatar which is the prophetic selection but his tent in the synagogue is the first chapter of isaiah has only show yo the vision of isaiah because this is where the profit predicts the fall of jerusalem and interesting enough this receives the stretch of the temple nine they evolve and is therefore chosen for that after according to some sources the avatar the selection from the provinces chanted the synagogue it originated during the roman persecution of the jews where they were not allowed to read from the bible itself from the five books of

moses and therefore the rabbis and that carried selected selections from the profits there weren't consonance with the theme of the portion of the week or what the counter particular time to count it as it may be avatar is not part of the ritual the reading in the synagogue and this reading from the first chapter is the outpouring of cars on the sabbath is called sharp discuss own because of the name of the portion of the actor isaiah the prophet was a native of jerusalem his family seems to have been one of those who moved en rose circles his prophetic perry and expanded roughly for about forty years from seven forero to seven the one before the common era these years were the most stirring that the kingdom of june to get passed through and throughout that entire period he was the dominant figure in the land and the entire portion

of the of torah discusses the fall of jerusalem and discussing again the effect of the destruction of jerusalem in the temple the effect of the jews being in diaspora in exile i'd like to return to another aspect yesterday we discussed the aspect of education of our children and open society today would like to discuss how do we explain theologically of course there's a very clear explanation as to why did you and how did you have survived this as one the most amazing phenomenon of human beings against all reason it's almost like the bumblebee very called a bumblebee according to all my aerodynamics cannot fly but the bumblebee does not know where aerodynamics and flies are going to all sociological and historical facts but you should not be alive today he should be extinguished extinct

has said any of the many tribes a racist that inhabits this earth and yet the juices drivers not theologically of course there are reasons for it others historians have been greatly troubled by this point be for one has been so troubled by these persistent a ridiculous jews who refused to conform to his theories that he has let out all this venerable and use and calls from fossilized and so on but what light can psychology shadow on his grave phenomenon this amazing thing for survival that you pretty any comment they like certain have certain theological point of view i'm about to hear more about that since may that psychologists know that's just so human being he can't do something and that's the one thing that is very certain that he's going to do and one thing he's determined to do it to that there are perhaps a sociological and historical

explanations for this also rally where the jews exterminated in toto always a nucleus of jews were left behind movies those were left behind were pressed into ghettos were mistreated whether the same time compelled continuous of persecution to find comfort in that one area religious believes the troops home so i think as the most significant area explanations also of the jew from biblical times from monday's slew of today's book of exodus from crossing the red sea we're taught that they were to be persecuted jewish child who grew up with the assembled press so

really for him was taught to understand that persecution is not a thing to be afraid of which was the concept of prescription was built into the theology of judaism now in two thousand to the very being a vigil commemorating the promise of the two of the negro to win no one because leaders don't have as yet a common culture where practicing medicine one is there's this unifying factor among the jews are still lacking among the last things that we're most interested in understanding human this is why one group of human beings as high achieving group in spite of her the opposition checkpoints creating another group of human zoology the group and as a search under the same circumstances and one of the explanations for this of course is that there is common

cultural tradition and background denies cheating groups that the forces the group forward in spite of prescription pain and difficulty while the other group does not have a common folk for as efficient as yet i see mr gration of immigrant eyes and realize yes yes but not their country of origin and the country of origin of most of the common point of view the negroes much more often than jews will attempt to identify with a group well jews tend much more commonly to identify with in group a matter what other circumstances prevail we're theologically have to return to your question from a theologically explanation for survival the jews that he was chosen kerry god's message upon earth and therefore it would be extended god's message would be exterminated and he has to survive this of course is highly significant to western civilization

there is directly on our conversation this week our series of conversations this week jewell has purged his moral code to the world the jew has passed the ten commandments on which has displaced to the world the world has dr this in one way or another the continuance of the jew as the carrier wave ten commandments seems to be related to the psychology of those who are non jews who follow the jewish beliefs i think there is yet for example you take a whole why the whole why in it is almost next thing personality an ally that you and throughout the centuries

been persecuted in logic of the region eight nearly survives and as you say there has to be and many layers of explanation i think there's a way of explanation that lots of the moment talk about the relationship between the reality and jews more oddly the reality of the ten commandments and to the survival of the ten commandments as a religious foundation for religious right realistic document the ten commandments enable us to live in a civilized way given those in this world that we live in we need some type of moral code to protect us from having a very rapid advances our science we don't have a moral code we'll all be destroyed that will be no human beings on the planet or if we don't find some way of controlling ourselves summer scientists message does not become universal building a universe as far as we can say it for the moral code period in the ten commandments is not

universally will certainly are aspects that it becomes universal we will certainly be destroyed them in a universe of the juice con trailer for why him grew up to discover that his moral code was realistic that the tenets of his faith or where in keeping with his own realistic strivings and world in his own ability to live and to raise his family the tenants of the one faith culture and religion simply did not stand up against the ten commandments whether they're informed christianity are dubious and our birthday boy and so unusual in form of christianity and it was more practical and set laws for him more realistic for him as an individual two of them intern is over culture in favor of newer ones that you did not find another culture to move into that was more realistic for culture that he already carried i say well i think dr seuss themed

this is a certain his final note as we can every select to embrace a series of talks you're closing with the ten commandments which you expand their own unique fashion very unique way i want to thank you very very much for bringing the light of knowledge of psychology to bear upon the tower as we started a statement earlier the very beginning of these talks car and religion as a whole is always been able to integrate within its fabric the elements of knowledge that are contained other sciences and certainly i see no reason why with this great new science that has become all invoking in our society is almost permeated every facet of our society the synthesizer psychology it is this an encouraging to see it in the great as you did into the love and warmth of our of our current of our

religion want to thank you very much for making these talks with me i'm sure there will be a source of unlikely implausible year and two of them also wrote what you have been listening to portion of the week the bible as reading synagogue with rabbinic commentary this evening new word rabbi leon de think spiritual leader of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york with his guest dr richard m silberstein medical director of the staten island mental health center and a member of the faculty downstate medical center state university of new york the counter for a portion of the week is a lesser crombie of the congregation beth shalom of kings bay brooklyn new york days are still on it in the days long as they're wrong it's wise all saw a long murtaugh jazz album as a solo bomb
