Israeli Cultural Revolution - Passion For The Temple | The Imaginative Force | Prophetic Cinema

"Those of vast grasping, their force of imagination is great and very exalted." - Rabbi Kook

​

At least among us Jews, those who have a grasp of knowledge,
are those of great imagination. And then there's great daring,
in their descriptions, their thoughts.

We can see this among the prophets.
We can also see this among Kabbalists.
The terminology is full of imaginative power.

Which causes superficial people to think all these folks are confused and need psychiatric hospitalization. But they don't need any, they are entirely normal people. With that, they have great imaginative power, breaking many borders.

​

In the scientific field, until Psychoanalysis none of this was known. The Freudian psychoanalysis revealed great depths within the human subconscious, symbolic thinking.
Also later, Jung has many observations of this kind - the collective unconscious...the ocean of souls.

So, "those of vast grasping, their force of imagination is great and very exalted, and it's connected with visions that are more general in reality. And according to their courage,
and purity of their spirit, the imaginative power enacts itself through them. To draw exalted imaginations, that the light of the high truth reveals by them. In such revelations that no logical mind can reach".

What does Rabbi Kook want from us? That we are not to be scared of meeting people
of such imaginative force, that we don't think it's a shortcoming, moreover - it is an advantage.

Possibly Rabbi Kook wants something else, besides not being scared to meet such people, rather Rabbi Kook tells You: "Maybe You, the reader, You are one of these great people,
that You don't get scared seeing You have imaginative power that is great ,
use it for these sacred purposes.".

Wisdom of Faith: Undivided Thought | Rabbi Ouri Cherki​

Can Faith and Reason Really Get Along?
​

Rabbi Ouri Cherki is at it again, challenging the age-old debate between faith and reason with his unique concept of 'Undivided Thought.' Forget the idea that religion and intellect are mortal enemies—what if they’re actually meant to be best friends?

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to reconcile religious beliefs with a modern, rational mindset, this video is for you. Rabbi Cherki dives into the universal aspects of Torah, making the case for a unified way of thinking that transcends traditional boundaries.

Check it out, and let’s hear your thoughts—
do you think faith and reason can coexist
or are they destined to clash forever?

Individual and Collective Repentance according to Rabbi Kook
-
Are You Rising or Falling?​

Rabbi Cherki has once again lit a fire under the age-old debate between personal piety and collective responsibility in this episode. Imagine the shock when a fighter pilot, fiercely dedicated to defending Israel, suddenly swaps his flight suit for Tefillin, leaving behind his mission for a quieter life of personal devotion. Is this a rise in spirituality, or a descent from the grand stage of national destiny to a small corner of private religiosity?

Rabbi Cherki doesn’t shy away from this jarring imagery—he sees it as a warning. The great light of national repentance, the return to Zion, isn’t just another mitzvah; it’s a historical eruption, reshaping Jewish identity and the world’s moral landscape. The personal and collective are not in conflict; they are layers of the same divine mission. But the question remains: when your personal repentance seems to clash with the collective vision, are you climbing the ladder of holiness or stepping down from your divine calling?

Are we too focused on our personal little lights, missing the brilliance of the great light of collective redemption? Your thoughts might just help frame the next great Jewish conversation.

They have schools for prophets in Atlanta. They had schools for prophets all over Palestine from the time of Samuel.

Which is pretty hilarious. Ya gotta admit.

No kidding. Being a prophet must be lucrative.

Well, they say imitation is flattery,
and after all they claim to be already Israel.

If you read the prophets, they speak of prophecy returning universally.

Wisdom Of Faith - The Undivided Thought | Rabbi Cherki​

In 'Wisdom Of Faith - The Undivided Thought,' Rabbi Oury Cherki challenges the common perception that faith and secular thinking are separate and opposing realms. Using the backdrop of historical events like the Six Day War, Rabbi Cherki illustrates how divine inspiration transcends conventional religious and secular divides, showing that the core of belief is universally accessible, beyond the labels of 'religious' or 'secular'.

Rabbi Cherki explains that every human, regardless of background, shares the same cognitive space where faith resides, and it’s not confined to those raised within religious environments. He emphasizes that the thought processes often labeled as 'religious' are, in fact, inherent to all people. This profound insight invites a re-examination of how we approach faith, knowledge, and shared human experience.

Narkis - Im Savi (With My Grandfather)

As Avraham our father
Who counted stars at night,
Who called to his Creator from the furnace
Who bound his son - was my grandfather

The same complete faith
Inside the flame,
And the same dewy glance
And waves soft beard

Outside fell the snow
Outside they roared:
"There's no judgement and there's no judge"
And in his cracked room, the shattered
Angels sing about Jerusalem above

Thanks. That was beautiful!

I was wondering that if a faithful tested and true prophet appeared and told you that by building a fancy temple as a dwelling place for God, derp, and hiring a glorified butcher to ritually slaughter farm animals in it, for a price, you will be defiling yourselves yet again by the work of your hands,

would you believe?

I don't know that someone who hasn't read the prophets,
or lacks basic knowledge in laws of purity, taught to
children in the 5th grade before reaching puberty,
can be called a 'tested' anything...

But it hasn't to do with belief,
there're rules how to investigate,
a true prophet can't nullify the scripture.

I agree!

Exactly.

Isn't prophecy in the name of God openly declared and openly fulfilled proof of Divine inspiration?

At least according to Moses, The Great Seal of the Living God.

Some things can't be faked no matter how hard you try, no matter how good an actor you try to be. Only a true prophet can reveal things kept secret by God since the foundation of the world. So investigate away! Its a matter of life and death. Just remember, its three strikes and you're out!

Seriously.

Isn't another false prophet on a long list of false prophets calling for building a temple for the ritual slaughter of farm animals in the name of the Lord the last thing the Jewish people need?

When Moses said you would "turn aside from THE WAY he taught to follow the law" (before there was any temple) and defile yourself with the work of your hands what do you think he meant?

Jacking off?

 

[rylah]

I agree!



Exactly.

But only a true prophet can reveal things kept secret by God since the foundation of the world.

That's why G-d gave us rules on how to investigate,
bombastic claims alone do not make prophets.

Why do you feel the urge to set any rules?
Secrets G-d chose to keep are irrelevant.
That's not how you have a relationship.

Better understand collective prophecy,
than selling me bridges in Mumbai.

 

[hobelim]

Secrets G-d chose to keep are irrelevant.

Really? Irrelevant? That crap may work in the Yeshiva with 6 year olds but not here. Try harder!

"I will give you treasures hidden in dark vaults and stored in secret places so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel who summons you by name."

Sounds pretty relevant to me.

I'm not selling anything. That the subject of kosher law is not about food is a self-evident fact.

That you can't see that should be rather embarrassing. If you're not, maybe you just need a bath.

Try harder? I'm not under the impression you've presented a rational challenge.

Read again, ask yourself what is the only thing you overlook in relationships?

Because you also seem to entirely miss out the point that
surprisingly G-d is also allowed to make His own choices.

A hot cup of tea is sometimes best way to unnerve.

He's right because he says he is, just ask him.
