Very inspirational Thank you very much for your words Rabbi, they have moved me to tears. It's very true that a Jew will always be able to return home, to his or her heritage. Reply

Rabbi Bryski - The Jewish Pathology Thank you for explaining this. As a Jew I have to define myself as a 'devout agnostic' and your talk showed me that the one does not cancel out the other. Your conclusion that identity is confirmed and enriched by connection with one's origins ties up with recent secular research in Germany with the practical effects of this phenomenon, the so-called 'ancestor effect'. I pointed this out to David Rosmarin who is researching the beneficial influence of Judaism on the mental health of orthodox Jews and he agreed there is a connection. I would give the name of the German professor but I seem to be having a 'senior moment'. Whereas, I was wondering and deducing on this subject, your talk, in a different context, brought it all together for me. It is so inspiring to find that modern science, though so young in comparison with our ancient wisdom, can discover in it facts which justify it in contemporary thought. It supports the contention that Torah is of eternal divine origin. Reply

I am so happy to hear this today Rabbi. I always have guilt for not going to syngogue regularly (although not only on the High Holidays).

I am a single parent and even though we observe Shabbat alot of times I only make it to Saturday Shabbos service.

You make it a very enlighting lecture and at least I don't have 100% guilt.
Thank you!!! Reply

Wonderful! Thank you Rabbi. This was so very excellent! I know many people to whom I will forward this (gettng them to read it however is another matter of course). I was rivited by the stories you told and the points you made. I am one of those Jews who "came back" from a long period of hiatus. And yes, it felt like I was coming back to my family. Reply

Rabbi, this speech should be made public on every channel. I have sent it to my own father, one of the many "I don't believe in organized religion" types mentioned. Hopefully he can feel your message and supplement a minyan sometime for your nephew at Chabad TO. Reply
