Why I'm posting this very unpolished, low-effort video

- I am putting out this completely unpolished, meandering video for an important reason and it goes against everything I had to learn about human interaction for almost 50 years.
*UPDATE* Thank you SO much for the comments. It's amazing to see how this is resonating. My favorite description of this video in the comments was "ND unmasking."
I was not born Jewish. I did not grow up in a town with Jews. The only discussion of Jew’s growing up was when our history class covered the second world war. Even our church Which was quite fundamentalist, seems to ignore the existence of Jews in the modern world.
But when I went to college, and I met a Jew for the first time, and I went to services At the Chabad house on Saturday morning and heard them sing Ashrei. I knew I had found my home.
Here was a group of people, the first group of people that thought like me, that spoke like me, that asked the same questions as me.
And now a little over two years since that first shabbat, I am just waiting for a call from the Beit Din to meet them at the mikvah.
Stay unfiltered. I found you the first time with Jacob-Laban narcissism lesson. It was phenomenal and I watch it periodically. Also, the cat - kip analogy was brilliant.
Being sincere endears you to others
I sometimes pick up on things from peoples voices. When I listen to you I feel like I am included in your family. The people you serve are treated as family. I feel your videos in my heart. Im not Jewish. It doesnt matter. With you we walk freely in the mystery with love.
I’m so moved to hear that! That’s actually how I feel. It’s amazing that you pick up on that.
@@SoulWords Rabbi, you set an example with your own humanity as a guide back to our own. A person can feel weak and disadvantaged by their own civility when they're surrounded by wolves. It's hard to focus on the light when you feel alone in that darkness. You're channel is a steady light in that darkness. And look at this community you've galvanized! Beautiful.
@@Sarara-mv5sx the community is really remarkable. it amazes me how many kindred spirits have come out of the woodwork.
I'm a 62 year old scapegoat, father/brother/uncle/in law trying the same with my dysfunctional narcissticly organized family. 😂
I found you about a year ago when I started recovery - it’s been refreshing and helpful. My journey has led me to Judaism and I love all that you represent - I believe there is a purpose for your content being exposed to me - I find great comfort in your content as well as learning more about Judaism - I hope to finish my conversion soon.
Shabbat shalom and blessings.
I’m so glad you are YOU! I’m not Jewish, but your video on Scapegoats was extremely cathartic for me! I truly enjoy your work!
Now I understood something that's happening to me, too. Thank you for letting this message out as it is. As you do, I feel less alone and I feel understood and connected. Never hesitate if you feel you have you have to let your real thought on your real voice out, because the right people will have ears to hear the message! Thank you again. I'm hungry for these 'nuggets'. A kindred spirit.
this means so much to me. thank you. i rarely have these kinds of interactions in real life.
The algorithm threw you my way probably because I watched dozens of videos on narcissism, family scapegoats, psychology, religion, motivational... I could not be more grateful that I was able to connect with this channel. I never imagined that I would be relating to a rabbi of all people on life, etc. But when you teach it's like I'm learning secrets about life and myself that I never even had a clue about. It strengthens my faith in G-d to relate so naturally to someone from a totally different world from the one I'm from. That's another confirmation for me that G-d is All. I recently learned about neurodivergence and autism from you and it has helped me understand 50yrs of a life of loneliness, struggle and confusion. I can't express how grateful I am for your place in my life Rabbi Taub 🙏🏾 Keep shining for G-d. The world desperately needs people like you in these dire times!
This is so incredible, and I’m so grateful to have some part in this story that you just told. We are truly living in interesting times.
You’ve taught me so much these past 6 months since I found your channel... if only you could know!! You have reminded me of my souls journey and of my own duty, if not anyone elses’, to protect it - in God’s honour.
I ‘got’ every word of what you said in this short video. Keep going, and keep on keepin’ it real . Thank you 😊 🙏🏻
Thank you so much. Words can’t convey.
Rabbi. חביבי יקרה. Haters will hate. Please We shouldn’t ever be deterred from it by them.
I’ve been following you just a few short weeks ago. As a Lubavitcher going back many generations. I feel lost and complexed with today’s society.
You’re a breath of fresh air to me personally despite us not knowing each other. Please don’t be deterred by haters on the contrary as the Rebbe taught us. Haters should make you stronger and more powerful to continue your vital necessary work.
Thank you so much!
@@SoulWordswell deserved.
God bless you. the filter thing is interesting; I think you get it right! I am chirstian and you teach me so much and help me so much. You have helped me through hard times. You have helped me find and understand God. YOU DO MORE GOOD THAN YOU KNOW! Please know that you are loved and that you are doing good; you are doing God's work, you are what He created you to be. (also - I went on a pilgrimage to Lourdes recently I heard a priest (and he's a great priest) say exactly the same thing you had said in one of your videos!)
Thank you for you, being you! I just came across your video today, and we do speak a common language! I'm looking forward to watching a lot more of your content! Many blessings to you and everyone here! 💖🙏💖
Yes and Amein! You have helped me beyond belief!!
You are just an amazing person. You and several other youtubers have lifted up the veil ive been walking around in just so i could placate others, esp family so that my experiences with others can be acceptable to them and in turn completely betray, subdue and alienate myself. You are heaven sent and please continue the good work
Thank you so much. It’s amazing how technology has allowed these connections to happen.
Thank you Rabbi, for revealing many concepts regarding HaShem, which I am very thankful for.
The first time I saw you was at The Shul. I was converting at the time, and since then I’ve watched your videos. You’ve helped me a lot and B”H thank you, Rabbi!
I have been in recovery almost 34 years. When i got serious about my conscience contact with G.d, i went down many many paths. Some good. Some flat out flaky.
During the time where we had to "stay at home", through what i can only believe was HaShem guiding me, i started to seriously read Torah and Psalms. One thing led to another, i became a bat Noach.
The algo directed me to you about 6 mos ago ? I am less alone, too.
HaKadosh Baruch Hu is bringing like minded/hearted people together so that we may serve Him. That's just what i feel.
I like your channel and i am glad to know you, Rabbi.
Thank you
Shabbat Shalom
Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
Yes what a divine algorithm. ❤❤❤❤❤
This resonates. Blessings and many thanks to you.
.y husband and I love watching your channel. I'm so happy you're finding your "tribe.". I'm not even kidding when I say that both you and your brother's YT channels are our favorites.
I love ND unmasked. Being one myself I understand it’s a sign of feeling safe and comfortable. Oof the internet well done for doing it because we need to hear. I need it to help teach my kids too. Thank you! Good Shabbos.
ND unmasked is my favorite genre. :-) Becoming a content creator on CZcams has given me a lot of confidence to do this. And I love that the algorithm somehow knows who will understand this language.
I always prefer a leader, teacher, and of course rabbi who is down to earth. (Plus it’s so Jewish!)
S/he clearly leads, but also shares their personality. An actual, normal, real person.
Authenticity resonates in an era of epic deception, and carefully curated counterfeit personalities. Stay true, stay strong .
That’s a poetic description
From a material, pop culture, atheist existence the algorithm led me to Chabad while looking into the history of law. O.K I'll bite, I was tired of missing Jeopardy religious questions anyway, right? A couple weeks with Rabbi Gordon learning Chumash with Rashi and it hit in an instant, this is divine, it is Truth and I had to learn more. That was around 8 yrs, ago. Without Rabbi's like yourself I would have had no chance to understand the Torah, what the Creator wants from us all and about Yiddishkeit, how Hashem wants us to behave. Learning how to get closer to my true self, understanding myself/others through the Sefirot. Chassidum amaze me, Judaism amazes me. I've almost been struck dumb with awe from the teachings. Thank you for what you do and to all Jews who sacrificed so much to keep the Torah and its Mitvahs, for bringing Gd down to earth and hastening the arrival of the Moshiach. This righteous Gentile is truly grateful and by way of thanks I try to behave the way Hashem wants me to behave......
All thanks to Jeopardy!
Absolutely love this .. and will iyh use it as inspiration for my own channel . Thanks 🙏
This is beautiful
Very insightful and encouraging message. Yisroel Arye is very good at being authentic and letting all out in his channel too.
Thank Gd for the algorithm!
Love you brother. Thanks for the rawness.
Thank you
Much love Rav
every person has a narrow perspective of the world/life. we all have blindspots and we think we figured it out. as we get older and wiser we see things we have never seen before. its only logical people don't want to hear all of you. you may be saying something that is controversial that people didn't figure out for themselves and it can overwhelm them (and yourself to be honest) good luck and keep up the amazing work.
Yes, we do speak a common language.
And I am grateful to Hashem for creating this tool called the internet that has allowed me to find people who speak that language at a better rate than I was ever able to do so in real life.
Thank you keep it up
High-masking hurts.
Thank you. I find you so very nice😊
Youre awesome dude
Insightful
I found you. I'm 72. I'm no good at working on myself.
Me thinks, if you can define your pupose for your channel, na you won't give being your authentic self a second thought. Who was that wise sage who so long ago said, "what will be, will be"?❤
Love it
So the people that I put on a pedestal are also human and relatable, So my question is what about the people that you look up to, are they also like us?
I speak or understand your language, does that mean I’m probably not neurotypical? I know you’re not a doctor, you’re a Rabbi. Rabbi, ever thought of getting a doctorate in Psychology? I feel like it would be like a cake walk for you! Not that you need it for your line of work!
I can’t say if your neurodivergent. I’m not sure if I am. But I have a hunch that anybody who likes this channel a lot has to, shall we say, a little bit quirky.
Are you okay if queer people like myself respect you?
That means a lot to me.
@@SoulWords thank you!
Yes, I speak the same language as you do ... although English is not my mothertongue ... although I am not Jewish ... 🤍 ...
