Dear Friends,
Dreamland Cass movie Off Limits hd
The other night I listened to Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein do some wonderful Bible Study. I have found his interpretations of the Hebrew Scriptures a real treat to listen to. Not only are they profound and insightful but they enlarge my understanding of the tradition that Rabbi Jesus was immersed in. O how much we can learn from our Jewish sisters and brothers! Try and find him on Radio 2000.
Drawing on his rich tradition the Chief Rabbi wrestled with four questions: Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs
What does it mean to be wise?
What does it mean to be powerful?
What does it mean to be wealthy?
What does it mean to have honour?
I invite you to think about these questions for a minute before you read on. Lethal Weapon 2 What comes to your mind?
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
The Rabbi reached the following conclusions that I believe are worth our reflection:
The wise person is someone who is humble enough to learn from all.
The powerful person is someone who can resist temptation.
The wealthy person is content with what s/he has.
The person of honour is the person who gives honour to others.
Grace and peace,
Alan
